I have rewritten the preset for Caïssa Britannia. The original was written at a time when I had just added for-next loops and subroutines to GAME Code, and it missed out on the features I subsequently gave to presets, such as the ability to use functions for piece movements and to spot check, checkmate, and stalemate. This new preset is based on the chess2 include file, which I further modified for use with royal pieces besides the King and for Pawns starting out on different ranks than in Chess. While working on this new preset, I corrected some bugs in the checkride operator, because it wasn't working correctly with the Dragon, and I copied the bugfix to checkhop, checklongleap, and voidride, which also check for symmetrical linear moves.
