How to implement 'en passant' when pawns can move three steps in its first move? In Cazaux's implementation of Wildebeest Chess the pawn can only be taken 'en passant' if it stops beside the enemy pawn. Although it can be captured in passing if it stops both on fourth or fifth rank, it cannot be captured if it stops on fifth rank and the enemy pawn is on the fourth rank. The description of Wildebeest Chess says only: 'On all passed squares, the pawn can be taken en-passant.' So I suppose that it should be possible to capture the pawn if it stops on the fifth rank and the enemy pawn is on the fourth rank, then? Or is the 'en passant' rule contingent on the fact that the pawn stops on the same rank as the enemy pawn? /Mats

The ZRF definitely needs to be revised. A year ago I commented:
(loss-condition (White Black) (checkmated King))
is the only victory rule in this game implemented by Zillions, which therefore needs the additional line:
(loss-condition (White Black) stalemated )
