[P1] Disallow capturing your own king

The relaxed friendly-occupancy check now simply allows any move that captures a friendly piece when self_capture() is true (if ((pieces(us) & to) && !(self_capture() && capture(m))) return false;). With this change there is no longer any guard against capturing your own king. For example, in capture-anything a knight that attacks ksq will be returned by legal_moves, but do_move() still asserts type_of(captured) != KING and will trip in debug builds (or remove the king in release). Self-capture variants should still forbid moves that take the side-to-move’s king.

@codex, that's correct, fix it. On the other hand, you have defined "capture-anything" twice, both as an in-built variant in variant.cpp, and as a custom one in variants.ini. Remove the in-built one

Summary

  • Removed the dedicated capture_anything_variant helper and now transition directly from the standard chess variant to Chess960, leaving capture-anything defined only via configuration. src/variant.cppL48-L80
  • Dropped the built-in registration of capture-anything from the predefined variant list to avoid duplicating the preset provided in variants.ini. src/variant.cppL1828-L1852

Testing

  • ⚠️ Not run (not requested).
