I think I managed it! There were all kinds of problems, because ScoreMove() only work if the AI tables (such as piece values) are initialized. Which only happened when you actually started playing against it. Otherwise it returns undefined results when pieces get captured. And it was not only that the tables needed to be defined; they actually had to contain the correct values. Otherwise the bridge-capture rule could not be correctly applied.

But I think it works now: pseudo-legal moves that the AI would consider illegal are now highlighted with a grey cross. This applies to intrinsically illegal moves (blowing up your own royal, capturing an iron piece or making a counter-strike) as well as to moves that can be punished in the reply (exposing your royal to capture, or capturing a protected Lion).

In the Chu-Shogi Diagram there are no restrictions on royal exposure, as it specifies royal=100, but as far as I tested the Lion-capture rules are now correctly indicated with the highlights.
