Turnover. Three ring sizes fit into each other, combining and splitting into different pieces, sometimes taking over your opponent's.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Ughh! Trying to implement the turnover transformation and splitting rules through a custom xxxTinker script revealed a bug in the parsing of the captureMatrix. Instead of ignoring promotion to its own type, it ignored promotion to the type just before it in the table.

After fixing this, I think I got the normal moving right. Promotion is still to be done.
