@Fergus, Hello,
I had asked 3 questions on this thread 2 weeks ago. It seems that you have missed them. Can you find time to take a look?
Fergus, What about the ability of changing the blue color of the highlighting when showing possible moves.
It uses the border color to highlight possible moves.
I can't figure it why but I have a green background and a blue highlight. Look here, please:

At some point, I started using highlight color instead. I included this in the form players could use to customize the appearance of a game, but I neglected to add it to the Edit form used by game designers. I have now added it in.
Thank you!
I want to thank those who gave feedback. I was trying to solve specific problems, and feedback helped me learn that solutions I found acceptable were not acceptable to others, which prompted me to find other solutions that worked better.
@Fergus,
Could you find the time to also solve for berolina pawns the problem that regular pawns used to have in fairychess.txt

Okay, I've done that.
A third thing if I may ask in these game the king may castle in 2 ways with the rook that starts near the corner of the board or with the corner cannon. Omega chess implements a castle move with a non corner piece. Can I combine this with the regular castling subroutine in order to easily make my castle subroutine work?
What castling rule do you want it to work for?
I don't understand your question, Fergus. I think I have explained it above.
According to the comments preceding the castle subroutine, you need to flag the spaces of pieces that may legally castle. The subroutine does not care what the pieces are. If you flag both the rook and the cannon, it will, once other conditions pertain, initially allow castling with the rook, but if the rook moves out of the way, it will allow castling with the cannon.

To kick it off, 3D chess is Turing Complete.
@Ben, Good one!... I have posted a while ago something about infinite chess an I was wondering even back then about of such a topic.
@Fergus: I cannot find the matches in the Apothecary Chess Tournament 1st Edition anymore.

What is the tournament id?
It's name is that: "Apothecary Chess Tournament 1st Edition" . But I do not know it's ID!

I believe that's also its id, though you have to enter plus signs for the spaces. I corrected the link placed in the Related Pages menu. It was missing the play directory, because it was originally on the play subdomain. If you check the "This Tournament" link in the menu, it should now list the games in the tournament.
The database has a table called ct. Its two columns are Game and Count. What is this for?

I build such a table in the ad hoc reporting page, but I don't write it back to the database. I could have created it at some point in developing the script? (The script's last change was in Dec 2018.)
It can be deleted then?
I have begun migrating our early link pages to the database. This provides the following advantages:
- It makes broken links easier to fix.
- It makes link pages easier to edit.
- It gives link pages a more uniform URL.
- It gives me the opportunity to find broken links and fix them, or to delete link pages that are no longer useful.
- Having all links in the database will make it easier to write and deploy a site-wide link checker.
As I migrate old link pages to the database, I am adding the old url and the new itemid to a table called RelocatedPages. This table will be used by the 404 script to point visitors toward the new link pages. It may also be used for any other HTML pages we eventually migrate to the database. But for now, I'm making link pages the first priority.

Okay, I dropped it.

I was thinking at bent riders that take 2 steps and then bend and keep going to that direction. This would be called very plastically Rook2 then bishop and Bishop2 then Rook. Would 2.Manticore and 2.Griffon be good names for them?
