One thing I just thought of is that the regular stalemated subroutine will not work for a game with the Joker. To factor in how moving a particular piece change's the checking power of the Joker, it should regulary update the value of lastpiece.

While looking up the correct name of the variable, I saw that I had used the wrong variable name in some places last night. When I corrected that, I was able to move the Joker in my fork of the Apothecary Chess 1 preset.

There are still more things to be done, but not right away.
