Odin's Rune Chess. A game inspired by Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity, runes, and Nordic Mythology. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]<i><blockquote>
If anyone is, you will need some code trickery--a straight forward
'capture both kings' type win condition will make Zillions very
hesistant to use the Valkyrie swap move on a King--during move evaluation,
Zillions erroneously considers this to be a loss of the King, though it
treats the move correctly when actually determining if the win condition
is achieved.

The easiest way around this is to not allow the Valkyrie to swap with the friendly King, but rather, allow the King the ability to swap with a friendly Valkyrie -- this avoids panicing Zillions.

Another approach (used in Rococo.zrf) is to use an indirect capture target piece that is on a dummy square, and have capturing the King capture that piece as well. Since the swap move wouldn't have the code to capture the off-board target piece, then again, Zillions wouldn't panic at the swap move.
