This is in regard to the question about a King next to a King moving (when the King desired to move is adjacent only to only a friendly King). A King will not take advice from another King, so a King only next to a King will not move. I have written an addendum which addresses this and a few other issues. Hopefully it will be posted in the near future. The basics are that: (a) Valkyries will not move Valkyries (this is like a non-move), (b) Kings (when acting like a Valkyrie) will not move the other King (this would be like a non-move) and (c) Kings will not take advice from other Kings. I think the addendum covers a few other issues. Also note that Mike Nelson made a nice zrf of Odin's Rune Chess. I don't think it is posted yet, but when it is it will give you an excellent idea of how to play and will give you some nice tactical skills. It took me several games before I could defeat it on the low levels.
