Which of them? From Musketeer Board Painter, or Joyful?

The Joyful one (the Musketeer one is an easy call).

Remarkable that the notice boxes on this page say both

Is there really a distinction between an "accepted submission" and being published?

I've been wondering about this myself. Would I (for example) have to write a Piececlopedia article to change the latter?

I think the second alert is based on the Contributor checkbox for the user, which used to be set when a user's first submission was approved (or manually by an editor), but I think Fergus turned that off and has mostly deprecated the use of it; we just need to turn off this message in favor of the first one.

The Dove can force mate with assistance from its king:

(The EGT appears to be broken right now, but that should work.)

Very weird, I cannot explain that behavior, and it seems to originate out of nowhere, as this used to work before. I put in some extra code now to erase the board just before the pieces are placed, and this appears to cure the problem.

The Dove indeed can force checkmate on a bare King. It does not need the fG moves for that, but if I remove those it seems to need all others. With all its moves it loses mating potential on 11x11.
