When trying to reinforce the Sissa Chess preset rules using the Play-test applet, I get stuck with the conversion parameter: something is wrong with it. The conversion rule does not fully apply, since if I normally move a bishop, the other would necessarily convert on its first move, which does not happen. The same thing happens in reverse.

Could you please take a look at this issue to try to see what's going on?

All that is now required is define the bishop with an extra initial iW move, and add a parameter conversion=N, where N is the number of the piece table of the piece to which the rule applies. (So here N=3). The first moves of pieces of this type are then forced to go to different square shades.

Where does it come from that 3 is the number that corresponds to the bishop?

Thanks in advance for your help.
