Good point. Fixed that now. Unfortunately the diagram will always only consider one piece royal, so it now will not mark stepping into check with the Clobber King as forbidden move. But I guess that is just a minor flaw; this forbidden-move feature was only introduced for Caissa Brittannia, to indicate the numerous forbidden moves of the Royal Queen there. For symmetry I should perhaps also switch it off for the other King (by adding "royal=0" to the diagram definition).
