Good observation Yuri Bilokin! I too found a setting but let us wait for the author to respond.

v.716 8/5p2/2p2Pp1/1kp2pP1/5P2/3K1P2/2P2P2/6B1
This avoids the capture on c3, but uses an extra black man. Perhaps it is a question of choice.
His version for 716 is however a great improvement. Solution is same.
