Well, keep up the good work with the blood and such. And just keep this message for later. <p> As a non tech-savvy person you would be an ideal tester for the diagram wizard. When you are also new to Chess variants, however, you might not be familiar with the 'Betza notation' for how pieces moves, and the diagram wizard expects you to specify the moves in this notation. But for your pieces in Sac Chess, which are simple compounds of orthodox Chess pieces, it would just be a matter of combining the letters. E.g. the move of your Judge would be written as KN (or NK), that of the Archbishop as BN, etc. It only gets complex when the pieces are not symmetric and only move in a sub-set of the directions, or when they capture different from how they move, or must jump others in order to move, etc.
