That's a though, David. It does, of course, require you to keep track of two classes of captured pieces. A few other ideas in that direction: <ul> <p> <li>Self-captured pieces go into your <em>opponent's</em> hand, not your own;</li> <p> <li>Self-captured pieces turn into 'Prisoners', which can not be dropped, only sacrificed to pay for the curse (this is a more extreme version of Ralph's suggestion that self-captured pieces be demoted).</li> <p> </ul> At the moment I'm inclined to allow full self-capturing -- it's, ah, interesting.
