And now for move 30 it won't let me go from f5 to d7? There's got to be a bug - there aren't any pieces that would threaten her.

Does anybody know why I can't make my move 21 be c6-e4? Going diagonally down I shouldn't be in check ever.

Is it true that the Withdrawer can only kill when withdrawing in an orthogonal direction?

Aw nuts - you're right! Nevermind then - except it did make such a nice excuse for why I lost :)

Hey, Fergus, I think we've found two bugs: 1-the chameleon will 'pinch' any piece when it's only supposed to pinch a pawn, 2-it's possible to commit suicide for an immobilized piece and still move (using the notation @-d2;g2-f2 )

Oh please. You had me at move three. A few killer mistakes at the beginning make a big difference.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

I think the forward movement is the point. This is a game of attack (and movement within the enemy zone, but not retreat). I noticed the pieces even look forward facing. My impression of the rules was that you have to choose to promote the pieces (it takes a turn), and if you reach the final rank you can't move them until you promote them. Of course I was mistaken about some of Ultima's rules too.

Gosh Chad, you've got me. Hurry and finish it off painlessly.

I know what you're saying, but the chameleon withdrew tangent to the withdrawer. It's supposed to only work when it withdraws directly away. Poor thing. I promised her I would keep her protected, and now this happens. I think it's a bug.

Hey! How did he just eat my withdrawer? Did that chameleon just become a pawn? That's not fair.

Well apparently this works - I don't know if they'll censor us if we trash talk though. Sometimes that's half the fun.

Hey - I'm seeing whether it's possible to add comments here.
