@ Fergus:

Another bug with this preset seems to have surfaced. I tried having a Black pawn at d4 early on in a hypothetical 'game' in Move Mode, and moved a White pawn to e5 (i.e. with an initial step of 3 squares). At that point the preset does not show Black being allowed to capture en passant (i.e. to move the pawn on d4 to e3).

I was working on a possibly unrelated preset of my own ('enforced' 12x12 'Brawl Chess', a game which allows a similar initial triple pawn step), and I have used the include chess2 file, and have had a similar possible 'bug'. Your Omega Chess preset currently uses the include chess file, which is why I checked the Omega Chess preset, to see if it had a similar issue.

It's possible both include files, in allowing fps (initial pawn step indicator) to be set to 3 (instead of 2), do not take into account Omega Chess' en passant pawn rules as fully as they might.
