Interactive diagrams. (Updated!) Diagrams that interactively show piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I am working on a 10x10 different armies chess. I am testing an ID. I have an isolated diagram (only two armies). But it does not work. Specifically the promotion rules don't work as I wish. White or black should promote to pieces in their own army only. Also my footman (JL Cazaux's maasai soldier) should promote to something else. What happens is the black's regular pawns don't promote or even advance by capture on rank 8. The footman promote like regular pawns. Here is an offending diagram:
