    In this problem, neu kg3 qa4 pd7 (3 pieces) H=1.5 Madrasi Phantomchess Popeye 4.63 gave the solution
    1…nPd7-d8=nQ 2.nQa4-e8 nKg3-d1=
    But, in the definition Phantom effect is not applicable to the King. Can the experts clarify this for me?

    Obviously Popeye 4.43 considers that the Phantom effect is applicable to the neutral King (but not to the wK or bK). This seems to qualify as a bug.

    If you try solving the same problem with Popeye 4.69, you will have the surprise to see the following funny “solutions”:
    1…nPd7-d8=nQ 2.nKg3-f3 nQa4-d1*f3 =
    1…nPd7-d8=nQ 2.nKg3-f3 nQd8-d1*f3 =
    1…nPd7-d8=nQ 2.nKg3-h3 nQa4-d1-g1 =
    1…nPd7-d8=nQ 2.nKg3-h3 nQd8-d1-g1 =
    My recommendation is therefore to avoid this combination of fairy pieces and conditions with Popeye.

      Edit: read “Popeye 4.63” instead of “Popeye 4.43”.
      Older versions of Popeye find no solution. Starting with Popeye 4.62 the solution 1…nPd7-d8=nQ 2.nQa4-e8 nKg3-d1 = appears.

    What about the zero-moves?
    wLh3 moves to h3 as though from f1.

    Popeye (4.69) does not allow wPh3 to “pass through itself” as h3-h2-h4.
    Add a wLion h2 and it can play LIh2-h8-h1, over Pg3 and “through itself”.
    But not LIh2-h8-h2 “onto itself”.
