I've just realized I don't actually know when the red fool moves from the text. I'd assume it doesn't have its own turn, but instead acts as a piece that one of the players can move during their turn? Must it be moved if it is attacked, and (especially if so) does the player get to move the RF in addition to or just instead of one of their own pieces? Does "attacked" depend on whose turn it is (i.e., if the RF is attacked only by a black piece, can black move the RF)?
I still don't completely understand "safe"/"either empty or undefended": is there a priority among the three options (an empty and unthreatened square, an empty but threatened square, and an occupied but unthreatened square)? I guess here "threatened" doesn't depend on piece colors?
