I'd like to add code to a chess ZRF allowing players to either move a friendly piece or an enemy piece (if in a certain zone). What's the best way to implement this?

Try making all the pieces neutral. Then assign the pieces different piece declaration according to their side with different move-types according to the condition of movement.

(turn-order
(White ?neutral white_moves)
(Black ?neutral black_moves)
)

This will mean that White will be able to move any neutral pieces according to the white_moves move-type regardless of the actual color of the pieces.
