I'm a Wazir, Get Me Out of Here. A variant in which pieces disappear if left too long in the wrong place. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

My mistake, the confusion arose from:
(a) a Wazir being a minor piece against a FIDE King - but of course that
depends on the King's extra ability to move diagonally;
(b) Xiang Qi's nearest analogy, a promoted Soldier trapping a bared
General in the Fortress, being stalemate - but again where captures get
carried out there is no stalemate.
I will get on with editing to express things more vaguely.
