Then you would not see a flat top, but a curved one.

Precedent or not, it is still ugly. The Vao has a rotated barrel.  Surely it should be easy to rotate it a bit more to get a horizontal one?

During my holiday I had started to submit a new article, called "End-Game Applet (2 vs 2)". But now that I am back home on my own computer, I cannot find it in my list of unpublished submissions. So I don't know how I can continue working on it!

Ah, OK, that's indeed the one. So I have to look in the personal menu. I was looking on my 'person information page'.

Thanks!

I have already made one like that, but it takes away from the significance of using a modified Bishop for the Vao.

Well, I had not recognized it as a modified Bishop. And I doubt that anyone would.

Inkscape should allow you to specify or alter the stroke width for every element in the image separately.

When I was editing the SVGs I obtained from GitHub I noticed thar they were rather strange; the entire image just seemed to be one closed curve, highly folded to cross itself many times (creating some confusion on what was interior to be filled, and what was outside). So the black outlines of the image were not really elementary lines, but interior of a very thin curve filled with black. Even apparently disconnected elements (like the cross on the Bishops mitre) were part of this curve.

That is why you first have to upload those here. Through the "Upload or Manage Files" link at the bottom of the article. Then you can enter the on-site link when it is requested.

I am not sure why you crossed out your question. Did you already solve it, or was it no longer of interest?

Anyway, the Diagram could not do that through standard configuring, but with the aid of some simple scripting it should be doable. A routine xxxTinker could be embedded to veto moves that occupancy of some other square would block. I am not sure that would be enough to do the variant you mention; that depends on whether this is a single-move variant or not. If during a turn you could both move a selector and a normal piece, I don't think the Diagram's AI could handle it.
