The Diagram does not support 'partial imitators', which can only imitate a subset of the pieces, or of the moves of some of the pieces. I suppose it would be possible to exploit the possibility to veto unwanted moves through a user-supplied JavaScript function BadZone. Originally this feature was created for confining pieces to part of the board as  in Xiangqi. It could be used to veto moves for any reason, though. Problem in this case is that the routine should know which piece the imitator is imitating, because you don't want to veto distant forward moves when it is imitating a Rook. The Diagram keeps track of that in a variable that is accessible from the routine. But it is a different variable in case of a move in the game from when the AI is thinking.
