I think you have Missed my previous comment here, HG!

I was out of town for the computer-chess tournament in Zundert.

I don't know how to say that the source piece cannot hop to move, to capture, or capture said type. Meaning both ? and $.

I am not sure what you are asking. If you cannot hop to move or capture, you cannot hop at all, right?

$ indicates you can neither hop over, nor capture said type. If you can capture, but not hop, it would be indicated by ^. It is not possible in general to specify multiple effects for the same piece-combination in the captureMatrix, and in most cases this would not be meaningful anyway. (E.g. it makes no sense to specify what you promote to is the capture is forbidden.) The hop ban is special in this respect, as it does not refer to the occupant of the destination square, so that the move can involve 3 piece types. To cover the case of the Korean Cannon I introduced the $ symbol.
