Hello all, I have a fairly simple chess variant concept that is proving difficult to implement. I'm calling it "Moral Support Chess" or "Double-Check Chess." All the basic rules apply, but in order to capture any opposing piece, you must have two or more pieces trained on the piece (that is, able to take it in normal chess), and then one of them may do so. This leads to more safety for pieces, fewer captures, and more crowding. The King, however, does not need to be checkmated twice over, only checked (not mated) by the changed rules: by two pieces. Anyway, I thought this would be straight forward of just adding "(verify defended?)" lines in various places to see if another piece could help in the attack. However, this is resulting in no captures available ever, as the pieces would need to be simultaneously processed for it to work. Piece A requires piece B to be able to move there so piece A can go there, and vice versa. I'm no stranger to complicated workarounds, so let me know if you have any ideas for how I can achieve this. I'm posting my zrf that mostly works, but no captures.

Hello again, So I did away with the defended calls and am manually checking for friendly pieces in attacking positions to see if a piece can take an enemy. It still isn't allowing any captures. Can anyone find my problem?
