Not so impatient; it was hardly an hour old. The Diagram should be fully operational now, including the morphing of NCZE. I might have to adjust the value of the 'own half' types by hand, though; the Diagram's heuristic does not take it for granted that morphing on the enemy half can always be achieved, and awards little bonus for it. (And it doesn't think much of pieces that cannot capture...)

I am still in doubt whether I should include both the Bishop and the Dragon Horse. These are so similar. Perhaps I will replace the Bishop by a Scout (mNcA).

I thought that for a first try 12x12 was already large enough to get significantly shorter games, and make it a 'race to mate'.
