Unfortunately found a bug. I have a problem - I do not know English!

 >>> If a player inadveringly takes a protected piece with his king, he
loses the game.

  - No, no, no! We speak the language of Zillions?
 Goal of the game author:

 (loss-condition (White Black) (checkmated King))
 (loss-condition (White Black) (captured Rook))
 (loss-condition (White Black) (captured Knight))
 (loss-condition (White Black) (captured Elephant))
 You can in this way:
 (loss-condition (White Black) (checkmated King))
 (loss-condition (White Black) (pieces-remaining 7))

 Zillions is weak! I was very upset.

 Goal of the game implemented in Chess_without_Pawns.zrf:
 (loss-condition (White Black) (checkmated King))
 The best can!

 In an embodiment, when the Zillions against Zillions:
 (loss-condition (White Black) (checkmated King))
 (loss-condition (White Black) repetition)
 This helps to avoid repetition!
