Fergus, we have talked about the implementing in game courier of this piece a few weeks ago. It turns out that the stalemated subroutine is incompatible with the code you initilly. Do you have time this weekend to take a better look at the matter? I'd appreciate it for my 2 apothecary games.

Can you go to a page where your Joker piece is used and explain clearly how it works when (1) no piece has moved yet, and (2) when the last piece to move was a Joker? The function I wrote was recursive without any way to break out of the recursion for these two conditions.

This piece is complicated in an oddly specific way, and I doubt it is used in any game. So, I'll eventually delete this unless reason can be given why I shouldn't.

For what it's worth, this chameleon is listed in the Fairy Glossary of the Problemist / British Chess Problem Society, and is featured in a number of puzzles at Julia's Fairies problem site.

To avoid confusion, I'll designate this one Fairy Chameleon and the other one Ultima Chameleon in the PieceInfo table.
