However, it might be some time before it is implemented in the diagram and Game Courier.
Also, I noticed a few mistakes in the set file I just sent you. If you could overwite the old file with the new one when I send it to you that would be great.

Edit: Apparently by happy accident, the Game Courier preset had this implemented already without me realizing it.
The Dragon has an impressive 13x13 movement diagram on this page.
1. d3 Db6 2. Md2 Dxe3 is the fastest mate in Ryugi.
1. Nd4 c7 2. Nc6 Ne7 3. Nd8 does it with a Knight.

Since you mentioned Ryugi in another thread (here) it reminded me that I wanted to mention it. There's a reason I hadn't implemented it in ChessV. Your pawn rule:
The difficulty is that you cannot always tell by looking at a position if a pawn on e3 or f3 has moved or not. (A pawn on d2, for example, could get to e3 by capturing.) So extra state information would need to be captured, and we'd need to define how the FEN notation is expanded to record that, etc. Since this game is so similar to Unicorn Great Chess, may I suggest using the rule from that game:
This resolves the issue and simplifies the game.
