Your current setup for this game looks way better, but I did notice a few errors were made while making the new version. I also noticed a bug in the Hectochess implementation.

---------------------
Chu Seireigi Setup Errors
---------------------

White Kirin and Phoenix are swapped from where they should be in the initial setup

Black King and Great Elephant are swapped from where they should be in the initial setup

---------------------
Chu Seireigi Promotion/Drop Errors
---------------------

Pawn, Lance, Running Rabbit, Knight, Gold General, and Great Elephant are currently allowed to promote immediately if they are dropped into the promotion zone (this should not be the case)

White Copper General is put in same place as Black Lion in hand spaces, resulting in the hand space setup looking asymmetrical (White Copper General should be placed between the Great Elephant and Running Wolf)

(Also, because of this bug, a "King" may sometimes appear in current hand space of extra White Copper Generals/Black Lions for some reason...though this thankfully doesn't affect anything)

---------------------
Hectochess Castling Error
---------------------

When attempting to castle, the Champion's starting squares (b2/b9 and i2/i9) and queenside Knight starting squares (c2/c9) are not checked to see whether a piece is occupying them or not.
