I'm wondering if there is a graceful way of coping with his first move in each game, i.e. Lion to b5, attacking the undefended Black pawn on b8 and menacing the Black Chancellor on the a-file in next going to a6, which also sets up annoying(?) lateral moves on the sixth rank depending on what Black tries.
I'm afraid this setup has a problem also (that you have identified). I am not sure why earlier versions of ChessV didn't agressively exploit this, but the current version does. So I'll need to do more testing to see if there is a better option. With long-range leapers like Wizard and Lion it can be difficult.
