Hi L,
Thanks for pointing that out. For Hnefatafl, we have implemented rulesets that have been suggested by people interested in the game for evaluation purposes. We had the error in the Fetlar ruleset, which does explicitly say that the Jarl cannot occupy the central (or also the corner!) spaces.
Do you have a preferred ruleset that you have played that is not in Ludii? We can include it if you can send it (or a link to it) to us.
We are also presented with another issue: can pieces other than the Jarl move through those forbidden spaces but not land on them? It's not explicitly stated in many of the rulesets we have. Maybe the rules you are familiar with clarifies this?
Anyway, thanks for letting us know about this, feel free to point out anything else you may notice!
Best,
Walter
