That, I'm sure, would work for the capturing move; I think I'll still want the nN for the non-capturing/conventionally capturing move.

For the Wizard, I'm thinking FyafsFyafsafF for the basic move, if I'm reading the coding correctly. (I'll probably keep the place-switching part in leap mode: udFudNudC.)

Question: could captureMatrix be used to effect the royal promotions (Prince to King and Princess to Queen, upon the capture of the second in each pair)?

Reminder to self: Include the technical difference between "rifle capture" and "advance capture."
