This also does seem to have a habit of sporadically skipping pieces on the list; for example, it can go directly from Alfil to Bison, skipping the Camel, Zebra, Giraffe, Antelope, Wildebeest, and Okapi. Then it skips the Jackal, but includes the Kirin and Phoenix, then skips Frog, Kangaroo, Squirrel, Cheetah, Sabretooth, and Raccoon to go straight to the Aurochs and Hawk, then skips the Mammoth, Bongo, Rabbit, and Owl to get to the Pussycat... you get the idea.

It's not all of the time, either. Sometimes the full list shows up; but when it does, sometimes the move preview doesn't work. And the list of extras is sometimes there, sometimes not.

Addendum: I'll go add the debug code this afternoon, and try to see what's going on.

Addendum #2: What the skipped pieces all have in common is that I don't specify the filename in the listing; even the orthodox pieces are skipped until later (as I hadn't noticed before). The ones that are listed earlier, don't show up later. If I add the piece filenames, then all should be fine; I hope there's a quicker way to that, though.
