I've now made a rules enforcing preset for my Butterfly Chess CV, using the Applet (pasting Haru's altered lines, as described in my previous post).

I noticed the pieces become circled question marks after I make a legal first move for White with the mouse in Move mode for the preset - with Play mode I don't have that trouble, and several legal moves I tried in a row passed, as indicated beforehand by mouse clicks. I suppose every Applet generated preset would have that quirk, at least currently.

I'll try playing a game log of enforced Butterfly Chess against myself to test it, then delete the log if no issues with legal moves being allowed for either side. [edit: after I played a first move as White all the pieces turned to question marks again (as if in Move mode?) - then the preset asked me to make a move again right then, for Black it seems. So I resigned, then deleted the log. Again may be quirks of all Applet generated presets. I'll now issue someone a personal invitation, to test further.]

edit2: I tried a game with Joe Joyce, but after my first move as White the pieces all turned to question marks:

edit3: On 13-1-2024 this game log has been deleted by me, after the preset in the first link was edited by me well beforehand.
