does a new version of Popeye test wormholes?


I have 4.67 and it doesn't seem to be there...

Tried v4.63 and v4.75, both test wormholes alright:

thanks for this Dmitri!
a quick question... a piece travels through wormhole A and exits on wormhole B. Can this piece be captured on the wormhole B square, or do wormhole rules prohibit such captures?

Apologies, but what about the reversed case? For example:

Wormhole A is on a1
Wormhole B is on h8

wRa2 bRb1

If either rook moves to a1->h8, can it be captured then if the other rook moves to a1?

According to popeye, if one of the WH is occupied by opposite side, you can not exit and capture

The only legal move is to exit via the unoccupied wormhole.
