Withdrawer. Takes by moving away.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

It would seem to me that if the Withdrawer were moved up one space in the fourth figure, it would be checkmate: <pre> k . K . . W . . . . . . </pre> The Withdrawer is free to capture by moving in three directions, including the direction opposite the black King. It might not be possible to force this position, but can be done with help.
