Thanks, Nicolino.  I have created a Chess and a Half piece set from these pieces and used it to make a very basic Game Courier preset located here:

http://play.chessvariants.com/pbm/play.php?game%3DChess+and+a+Half%26settings%3DStandard

This preset has no automation or rule enforcement so some moves can't be done with the mouse such as promotions or indrect captures made by cat leaps.  For these moves, you'll have to type in the move.

Example 1, moving a white cat from a10 to a12 and promoting to a star cat:

C a10-a12; SC-a12

Example 2, moving a black cat from e10 to e8 and capturing the piece on e9:

c e10-e8; @-e9
