@Fergus.

I'm sorry to say but it works in the same way. I tried black to move when the black joker has an unobstructed orthogonal path to the white king and when the black rook moved the white king was in check. Also when the king was 3 squares orthogonally away from an enemy joker all of that king's siege elephants should be pinned. This does not happen, but then when the king gets captured the game is over anyway so this is not such a serious bug. Only the fact that the players need to be careful.

I assume that for the first matter a fix would be to use the value of the piece moved 2 ply away. That would have to be stored in a different variable but if you think that is the case I could be able to make the changes myself.
