Initially you had proposed for the king first move that is found in my 2 apothecary games this :

def Apothecary_King blah blah blah;

def Apothecary_King-Range blah blah blah;

alias King Apothecary_King;

set k King;

set K King;

but this alone gave an error saying that king cannot move there when moving the first time like a camel or knight. But if I don't use this unpredictable things happen like having false positives in checkmate or the special moves apearing after the first move. Below are the links to the game courier presets in question. They are definetly not optimized or finished in any way yet but I think this particular problem should be done first. Thanks for your help!
