The chess include file is now storing legal moves. To do this, it has had to become less optimized than it used to be. It is now more like the chess2 include, the main difference being that is still uses a specialized function instead of a generalized subroutine to check whether the King is in check. This is more efficient but needs to be changed for games with additional pieces. The functions in the include file cover all pieces in Chess plus the Marshall (K+R) and Archbishop (K+B).

While this is working for Chess, I may have to continue working on it later to get it to work right with other games that do castling differently. For the time being, I will leave in old functions and subroutines that might be used in presets or include files that include this one.
