HOW TO TRICK THE [Exclude Pieces not in Setup:] BOX. Entering 'Shatranj Kamil*' in the Game Courier Game Logs [Game Filter:] produces the usual abandoned games and game(s) of 'Shatranj Kamil X'. Both Ferzes and Pawns promote on the 10th rank to Great Elephants, which are not in the original setup.
Replacing /10/ in the game preset with /4{.EF}{.ef}4/ put two Great Elephants (White and Black ) in the middle of the board, adding these pieces to the Available Pieces list near the bottom of the page.
Typing @-e5; @-f5 in the [Pre-Game:] BOX deleted those annoying extra pieces from the game board, before the first move was made. The starting position in my test game will demonstrate that the initial setup is correct AND the Great Elephants are still listed under Available Pieces.
[EDIT 2009] Typing 'empty e5 f5' in the [Pre-Game:] BOX is now the correct procedure.
