This game is very good. I first thought the Transmitter would dominate the
game, but that is certainly not the case. Especially the endgame can be
very interesting with Kings interacting with Courtesans and Transmitters.
I like the idea a vulnerable piece (the King) is required to fulfill
certain tasks (Guide Courtesans, protect and attack the Transmitter)

On a moment I saw that my opponent had three Chakra's and I had only one.
The problem is that a Chakra becomes an enemy Chakra if you use your King
to move off yor Courtesan from your Chakra. I found the bug in the ZRF:

On line 347 (in courtslide-copy) '(slide-ecopysub' should be
'(slide-copysub'

Goodness, you're right!
I was careful in my naming schemes to keep the parallel tracks separate,
but I typoed this one.  Thanks very much for tracking down the problem for
me; I'm not sure I could have navigated my own four-year-old logic.
I submitted the corrected zip; it will have appeared here soon.
