For illegal drops the 'from-square' was subjected to an on-board test,

Use Ctrl-H in ICS Chat to close chat pane

H.G.Muller [Wed, 28 Jan 2015 22:17:23 +0000]
Let <Esc> transfer focus from Board to ICS Input
<Esc> in the input field of the ICS Interaction window transfers focus
to the board, but there was no way to transfer focus back without actually
typing something in the input field. <Esc> now does that. Unlike typing
printables, it does not close the chat pane, though. In addition, <Esc>
when the chat pane is open now also transfers focus to the board, rather
than closing the chat pane. This makes quick transparent switching between
board and Chat / ICS Interaction possible. It is no longer possible to
simply hide the chat pane, though. But this was usually done for typing
a command, and swicthing to the board with <Esc> and typing the command
there has the same effect.

The Xaw file browser assumes the text entries it is browsing for are

Fix premature disappearence of Lion victims
The check test did not correctly undo a Lion e.p. capture, which
would make the victim already disappear after entry of the first leg,
which potentially could affect the second leg move generation.
(Not in Lions, though, but in Betza castlings it manifested itself.)
H.G.Muller [Sun, 2 Nov 2014 14:31:34 +0000]
Implement non-royal castling
The Betza move generator allows castlings to be specified on non-royal
pieces, and indeed the Omega-Chess 'guarding' castles Q with R. To
prevent ambiguity this is implemented as a two-leg move QxR-s (with 's'
the target square specified in the O atom). This automatically takes care
of removal of the 'Rook', so that in ApplyMove() we only have to put it
back on the proper side of the 'King'.
H.G.Muller [Sun, 2 Nov 2014 11:24:16 +0000]
Also set e.p. rights on move of Lance
The Lance is intended as Pawn alternative (because of its slim shape),
except in Superchess (where it represents Amazon) and Chu. (In regular
Shogi the Lace is represented by Queen disguised as Lance!) So it would
be logical to also make its double-Pushes set e.p. rights. Except in
Spartan Chess, which has no e.p. capture.
H.G.Muller [Sun, 2 Nov 2014 10:29:31 +0000]
Allow e.p. capture on triple-Push
Some variants (like Omega Chess) have an initial triple-Push on Pawns,
wich can then e.p.-captured on both of the squares they skip. To allow
the Betza move generator to supply such e.p. captures, a bit flag is
kludged into the EP_RANK state indicator on triple pushes, while the
main value there is that of the rank directly behind the pushed Pawn.
The Betza generator then also matches the square behind it with the
e.p.-capture to-square when the falg is set.
ApplyMove() also had to be adapted, to remove the Pawn two squares
behind the capturing one, rather than straight behind it, when this
flag is set.
H.G.Muller [Fri, 31 Oct 2014 22:46:13 +0000]
Make the promotion zone always 3 deep in Elven Chess
The promotion zone in Eleven Chess was treated as in Shogi, and set
to the board height divided by 3. It is better to always make it 3.
This only makes a difference when the boardHeight is overruled,
but Elven Chess is a very useful parent variant when a 3-deep promotion
zone is needed. (Makruk would only allow promotion to Ferz, and Grand
Chess would need holdings and allow only promotion to captured pieces.)
H.G.Muller [Fri, 31 Oct 2014 21:59:23 +0000]
Locate corner piece in presence of DarkSquares
The 'Rook' move implied by a castling indicated through an obver-sized
King step uses the corner pieces. But the corner isn't necessarily
the edge file if the board is not rectangular, but irregularly shaped
like in Omega Chess. So we have to ignore the DarkSquares, which are
not caounted as belonging to the board.
H.G.Muller [Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:26:19 +0000]
Allow Betza castling with piece next to DarkSquare
In variants like Omega Chess the board edges are not really the first
and last file, because of the Wizzard squares. So castling has to be
allowed not only with the piece on those files, but also when the square
beyond them is not part of the board anymore.
H.G.Muller [Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:54:59 +0000]
Let Betza generator respect DarkSquares
DarkSquares are not pieces, and should not be moved. When landing
on them they should be considered as off-board.

Connect OSX Quit menu to ExitEvent
The Quit menu item provided by OSX was not equivalent to the original

We now catch the OSX 'WillTerminate' event to perform these tasks.

Attempt to make GTK sizing work with tiling WM
The Rezise routine now takes the size of the entire dialog table

under the assumption that a tiling window manager offers only a limited
'viewport' to our dialog, and we want everything to be visible inside that.

Normally we fake the engines play the requested variant, for the benefit

believe an unknown variant name is an engine-defined variant supported

Fix loading of engine-defined PGN games
Somehow there could be disagreement over what the official opening
position of an engine-defined variant was during loading of the game.
It then refused Betza-defined castling, which tests the corner pieces
based on this initial position. We now assume the FEN tag, which such
a PGN game will always contain, holds the official opening position,
so that castling will always be assumed possible (if there is a corner
piece).

Preserve parent variant for PGN of engine-defined game

The variant tag was displayed as an empty string in game-header lines.
