Using fairy-test rather than default, I am working on getting it to handle the scenario where all pieces except the King are held in hand. The board has only 36 spaces pieces can be held in hand on, but there are 38 that may be held in hand. For testing purposes, the following series of moves brings the board to a position in which 36 pieces have been captured, and the others may soon be captured:
