I thank Mats for bringing the very important PASS issue into view.  It
seems 3 different Pass rules have been unearthed.  The first 2 of the pass
rules are to prevent the King from moving into check:

1) Stewart Culin's - Requires King only piece on board before pass is
allowed.
2) Roleigh Martin's - Other pieces allowed on board, but if they can move
legally, you still can't pass
3)Other Rule - you can pass anytime

Personally, # 2 above, seems the most logical to me.
