Ah, but this is new information. You can also not make the jump when in check. I did not get that from the description on Jean-Louis' website.

Btw, it seems that this in-check business has been a seriously disputed issue at one time in the history of orthodox Chess, whether you could be in check by a pinned piece, or whether you could step your King next to an enemy King when you were protected (so that the opponent King could not legally move to the square your King was on to capture the latter). In Tai Shogi there is a similar issue, because there is a rule that says an Emperor (which is a universal leaper) cannot capture a protected piece, and it is not clear whether a piece is protected by the opponent Emperor (as he is also subject to this rule, and might thus not be able to recapture your Emperor if you had a second attacker to the square).

But I understand that this 'attacked' test in Zillions would never say that a piece is attacked by a piece of the same player.
