If someone with editing picture skills sees this, please make an zebra-bishop picture and add it instead of the plane zebra picture at z.

@HG, ... But it has introduced another problem. Now the shuffling of pieces is not simtrical anymore :(!

@HG, Indeed that has solved it. Thanks!

@HG, Hello, The interactive diagram on this page puts in the initial position an extra black joker outside of those defined. Why is this happening?

Interesting analysis, thanks Fergus!

Also I see no picture for bishop-zebra in allfairy many. Can someone make one and add it to the apothecary piece set instead of the lone zebra (letters Z&z)?

I was thinking about calling it Shaman because of the mostly African nature of zebra and the religious nature of the bishop.

What was the name of the game containing the osprey (dababah then bishop)? I'd like access to the preset using the code for this piece and I do not remember the name of the game. Thanks!

Hello Fergus, In the game below:

https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Apothecary+Chess-Classic&log=catugo-panther-2020-252-429

when black tries to move the king, a threefold repetition is claimed. Any idea why?

@Fergus, Was this part of the review of the page or just a heads up for the error in question?

@Fergus In a game of Apothecary Chess modern I play I cannot move due to an error. The preset used to work fine. Have you done anything that could make this preset not work anymore. Please take a look at the game: https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Apothecary+Chess-Modern&log=catugo-cvgameroom-2020-235-237

I did it. How does it work?

Yes, Sorry!

I have made the modifications.
