I don't play Chu Shogi, but I'm aware that the Lion moves twice. I have programmed Marseillais Chess and Extra Move Chess, which both allow double moves more generally. These include the ability to prompt the player for a second move before completing that player's turn. While I have programmed double moves on the scale of a whole game, I have not done it for an individual piece. You might have to program the game in general to handle double moves by a single piece.

Actually, I have done this for Pawn promotions in Chess. So, you might be able to do it for the Lion more easily than I thought. You want to look into the continuemove command.
