Interesting to note that the definition of Immun Chess in Dr. Hilmar Klaus' "Encyclopedia of Chess Language" (http://www.chessworld.org/I.htm) is as follows:

Immunschach n Ein Stein inklusive König, dessen Ursprungsfeld (im Circe-Sinne) von einem anderen Stein besetzt ist, ist immun, kann also nicht geschlagen werden. [Er. Bartel, Jugendschach (27) X 1981 S. 72; Problemkiste (67) II 1990 S. 98] The captured unit is not reborn E

It seems that Immun Chess is by default "Rex Inclusive"! True, both Popeye ("After some of the Circe, Immun, Madrasi, Phantomchess or Genevachess conditions you can enter 'RexInclusiv'") and WinChloe (there is 'Immun' and 'Immun Rex Inclusiv') implementations are "Rex Exclusive", this being the standard.

This created quite an interesting situation earlier this year during Itamar Faybish's TT5 (Strict Circe series-movers - http://www.ifaybish.com/tournament5/results.html), when the problems in the Category E1 ended up being Circe Immun Rex Inclusive (in Popeye, the combination of Circe and Immunchess conditions results in StrictCirce)!

Something to keep in mind when composing Rex Inclusive problems for this tournament while using multiple fairy conditions, as they may be non-commutative (even though Juraj Lörinc commented somewhere in this forum that "current solving programs (at least here discussed Popeye and WinChloe) are treating fairy conditions put in for a problem as a set (not ordered), not a n-tuple or sequence (ordered). As set, there are internal rules for resolution of fairy condition interaction, specific for individual programs")!

Thanks Cornel. All that is very much interesting.
Winchloé and Popeye can solve Immun Chess Rexinclusiv, or Immun Chess (Rexexclusiv being considered as a standard by both softwares, as you mentionned).
