Er, sorry to disagree Ken, but look at your slide macros again. They all start with ($1 $1, which is a move of two squares. As currently implemented, there is no way for a sliding piece to move a single square. <p> Also, it's still a bit unclear to me what's intended with the slide moves, but I, think, from your latest statement a sliding piece can make one of the following three moves in a legal direction: <ul> <li>A non-capturing single step; <li>A non-capturing leap of two squares; <li>A capturing leap of two squares. </ul> Is that correct? If that's the case, then nt-slide for example ought to be something like: <blockquote><pre> (define nt-slide ( $1 (if empty? add) $1 (verify empty?) add )) </pre></blockquote>
