Solo Chess does not work properly (and related information)

There is a glitch identical to what happened if you captured a king (tested in Analysis, can override the load blocker by closing the Set Up Position menu and playing a move) in an older version, in that sometimes, when you capture a piece during Solo Chess, it generates a "ghost piece" that does nothing except confuse the player and make it difficult to determine where the actual pieces are.

Actual pieces can overlap these, appearing in front. The only way to get rid of these "ghost pieces" is to refresh the page.

I was hoping that the "ghost piece" glitch will be fixed in Solo Chess, but perhaps that the load blocker override glitch would be left in, as I find it entertaining to play with multiple kings (which actually caused Stockfish to hang its queen). In addition, Stockfish can end up re-analyzing a position if multiple kings are present, and only one king registers as being in check (in the queen blunder I mentioned previously, the check-able king and queen were forked by a knight, Stockfish saw it after it was too late), so this may also be useful to fix.

As a side note, positions where no king is present are marked M1 by Stockfish. I do like Video Chess' method of handling multiple kings (with the exclusion that it only checks the first king in memory for move-restricting checks, which can lead to a self-corruption in some circumstances, although it can be fun to find the various results), where all kings on the board are treated as royals, and for handling no kings, where the side to lose all of their pieces will lose the game.

I'm having this same issue, any fix yet?
