Unicorn Great Chess. Enjoyable game: Great Chess pawn structure encloses two half-ducks - "lions" - with exciting bishop-nightrider - "unicorn.".

It will work correctly now. The coordinates stored for checking legal castling moves on for Black were on rank 8 instead of rank 10.

I tried again, and said 'yes' to making a move it had marked as illegal (my castling). After that, I was allowed to castle. So, apparently no fix to the preset is absolutely necessary.

In my 2019 GC tournament game, the preset is not allowing me to legally castle by moving my (Black) king two squares sideways to my right on the first rank. Hopefully this can be quickly fixed:
