@Fergus:
I am trying to bring my variant 'Enhanced Pawn Chess' to Game Courier. I have created the preset, which still runs with the include file 'chess2.txt'. Actually, I intended to save this file under the name 'EnhancedPawnChess.txt' and then modify it in the segment 'Pawn Capturing' according to the enhanced rules. But I am not sure if such a procedure is desired.

My real problem, however, is to modify the game code so that it fits my variant. Despite the 'Developer's Guide' and 'How to Enforce Rules in Game Courier' I can't manage - the latter lists the subroutines for white Pawn Mouvment and Pawn Promotion, but how to adapt is the question! I am working on it, but it will take time.

At this point I would be grateful if I could get help in modifying the pawn rule.
