Yes, I see the bug you mention.  The move !c2 is a suicide move
(immobilized piece on c2 kills itself.)  Apparently, it is not reading the
sucide moves back in correctly.  I will post a fix shortly.  

About your question, what changes I made ...  I fixed several bugs ... Not
just the check-testing bug, which allowed the King to get captured, but I
also found a couple of others where things were not being evaluated
correctly.  The program now functions (hopefully) exactly acording to the
evaluation function previously described.  In other words, the bad play
you experienced was entirely caused by bugs.

Thank you for testing, and reporting these problems!
