hi,
i'm working on a new variant - 21st century chess - but am having a
problem with the zrf. does anyone feel like taking a look?

it's 16 files by 9 ranks. i'm trying to introduce long-range, 'gun'
type pieces; an extension of the gun and machinegun pieces found in the
variant, 'chess battle'... but i'm fairly lost in the .zrf code...
cobbling pieces of code together for the gun capture-type of moves from
'chess battle'... i'm not sure if i have the moves codes for the
various slides correct.

i need the standard rook/bishop/queen slide, plus the chinese cannon (vao
and pao) slide, and the slide move for a piece which slides but doesn't
capture... only moves along blank squares... such pieces capture using the
'gun capture' move instead...

anyway the message i'm getting is, 'while reading a true/false
condition, the following non-piece-attribute was encountered: 'empty''






thanks in advance for any help,
andy
