#6 About Mimic pieces

[Qi Liang]

I've found the mimic pieces is unavailable in C/CIF.
The mimic piece can move as the last piece your opponent moved. like JOKER in Evochess

I don't know how to enable mimic pieces in C/CIF

[Gregor Cramer]

For mimic pieces it seems to be a must to invent a new designator. The Joker in Evochess will now be described as follows:

J=a~

The '~' designator means: move like the last piece (of the opponent) has moved. The preceding modifier 'a' is not a must, but is emphasizing that this description is for capturing and non-capturing movement.

Currently I cannot update the homepage of C/CIF, I will do this later. So this ticket will not yet be closed, until the homepage is updated.

Now the full description of Evochess. Note that I've invented a new modifier for Chameleon pieces, see Ticket #8.
