I don't understand the move of the rook (Swedish cannon?)

Oops, I forgot to change this back after using the Diagram for testing the newly implemented 'backup moves' with the Swedish Cannon. It should be fixed now.

This is quite interesting. The shock rule basically makes for a really nice altternative to Chu Shogi's Lion-trading rules.

Here's a test with Chu Shogi, where capturing a Lion ends your turn immediately gives you an extra move (view in isolation). Also, Pawns and Lances are forced to promote on the last rank, due to not having any special abilities deriving from the shock rule.
