  • "Check threat": after making one's move, an opponent's fool becomes the same piece for one move; if the fool would thus give immediate check, the move would have been illegal, thereby preventing the piece moving ("neutralizing" it) unless it moves to block the check or take the fool.

That is from the wikipedia article about Omega chess.And the following is from my article on Apothecary Chess Modern:

The joker (jester,fool) imitates the power movement and capture of the last piece moved by the opponent.

In both cases the joker's move is update at the begining of one's move replacing the old move that has been inherited two plies ago.

So HG, I think we are talking about differnet pieces.
