Another bug with this preset seems to have surfaced. I tried having a Black pawn at d4 early on in a hypothetical 'game' in Move Mode, and moved a White pawn to e5 (i.e. with an initial step of 3 squares). At that point the preset does not show Black being allowed to capture en passant (i.e. to move the pawn on d4 to e3).

I have fixed this by writing a new preset that uses the fairychess include file.

I was working on a possibly unrelated preset of my own ('enforced' 12x12 'Brawl Chess', a game which allows a similar initial triple pawn step), and I have used the include chess2 file, and have had a similar possible 'bug'.

The chess2 include file is out-of-date and unsupported. You should not use it for new games. Use the fairychess include file instead. I have put a link to the tutorial on this page.
