joshi tm: I think 11.dc it´s a ilegal move because any piece can go to square c6 and if white could play en-passant then the white pawn would go to c6. You suppose 11.dc is a legal move, then as consecuence black could play 11...bc and a black pawn could land in the square c6. c6 is closed until the end of the game so 11.dc it´s, in my opinion, a ilegal move.
In this game, after 30...,Kxh6, the white player losed his king but the game didn´t finish in this moment because the Behemoth played to h8 from h7. In case of playing to h6 capturing the black king, the game had would be a draw. It´s not clear in the rules if this possibility is correct. If the king is captured before of the movement of the Behemoth, could the Behemoth move too?, could it capture to the other king?
The rules say : "If a pawn is to be promoted (would advance to the last row), the player can move it even if the die does not show 1. However, he can only promote it to the piece chosen by the die roll - for example, if 3 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to a bishop only. If 1 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to any piece." I have two questions: (1) What does it happend if it´s rolled a 6? Could be promoted to a second king? (2) In case of a pawn in the 7th file: If there isn´t queen on the board, is it possible to get a 5 and get a queen playing the pawn to the 8th. file?

Tompark, your definition is a particular case of move and it´s only one consequence in standard chess, but in a cylindrical board or in other surface is not correct geometrically.
In the example of redsales the queen of b1 is black. The only piece of the white is the king. White king is in a1 and he is surrounded, so the king in atomic can´t capture and he hasn´t any legal move.
Interesting. I think it´s a legal move because the piece does a move around of the board. The definition of move is independent of the initial and final square but i have never tested it here.
