You need written descriptions of piece movement, not just diagrams.

I have done that.

For the King, you need to describe castling with writing, not just a diagram. For the Double Knight, it's not clear whether it gets two Knight moves in the same direction like a truncated Nightrider, or if it can leap directly to a space two Knight leaps away.

I have tried to implement this.

Regarding castling, it looks like your written description and diagram conflict. You wrote that it moves two spaces, but your diagram shows three.

@Fergus:
Do I still have to deliver on Kings Castle, or have I followed all your instructions?
I'll be happy to deliver, otherwise please publish.
