First move override
Leave these unset to let the first stipulation determine them. Only set them if you want to override what a stipulation does.

Conditions
The conditions above are designed to be as orthogonal as possible, and I do not necessarily recommend using the names above in publications. For example, you should probably write "NoWhiteCapture" instead of "WhiteMustCapture Anti Ultra". The text representation box will accept common names like "FunctionaryChess", "NoWhiteCapture", "BlackMinimummer"... and you can see which entries get checked.
Text representation
After you change the problem, the solver will be updated with the new stipulations/conditions when you click on the Start button.
