Hi Greg,

In the five games I have published the joker imitating a pawn gains only it's regular move power, no double step, no en passant, no promotions. In the games that I am testing now with ChessV the double step is allowed to the joker if on the proper rank. The double step move is implemented as a move of a pawn on the second rank and, not as a first mover property. I'm prepared to change the rule here so that double step is allowed. It is not very important, and anyway it works this way and I have sample games like that. What are your thoughts on the matter so far?

Next, do you foresee any related problems? What scares me is to publish the game with a set of rules and then someone finds an exception or to implement my own program a slightly different game because of that.

I thought it would help if you can provide the code of the joker. But it is not only that it is also how the joker connects with other classes in your design. This is why I ask the broader question.
