Where did you find the Dove icon?

Made on my own in Keynote (where I make them all)

(The EGT appears to be broken right now, but that should work.)

Very weird, I cannot explain that behavior, and it seems to originate out of nowhere, as this used to work before. I put in some extra code now to erase the board just before the pieces are placed, and this appears to cure the problem.

The Dove indeed can force checkmate on a bare King. It does not need the fG moves for that, but if I remove those it seems to need all others. With all its moves it loses mating potential on 11x11.

The Dove can force mate with assistance from its king:

Remarkable that the notice boxes on this page say both

This author has 5 open submissions and 8 accepted submissions.

and
This author has not previously published anything on the Chess Variant Pages.
Is there really a distinction between an "accepted submission" and being published?

I think the second alert is based on the Contributor checkbox for the user, which used to be set when a user's first submission was approved (or manually by an editor), but I think Fergus turned that off and has mostly deprecated the use of it; we just need to turn off this message in favor of the first one.
