This is a belated comment about the rules file for Whale Shogi by Karl Scherer & Douglas Silfen, which was created almost ten years ago now.
When playing against Zillions, I find that suddenly, half-way through the game, the Zillions side becomes invulnerable. It becomes impossible for me to capture any piece or to give check. The White Whale (King-piece) is able to single-handedly chase my White Whale to the edge of the board and deliver checkmate unassisted!
I have not seen this with any other Zillions game. Quite apart from wanting this fixed, I would be interested to know how and why this could be.

Were you able to figure it out?

This question should really be looked at by Karl Scherer or Doug Silfen, as they wrote the zrf. I haven't had the time to look into this myself, but of course there is no reason why you can't do so.
