The Ginsho (Silver General) is a tricky piece. I am curious as to how it works in variants like Peter's Gothic Isles Chess. My first question is: If we drop the 'bare king' rule, can we find a forced stalemate victory in the ending King + Silver General versus King? I have tried running a Zillion - Zillions match for over 250 moves, at one minute per move, with no success. CORRECTION: my first 2005-02-24 comment included a quote concerning the Kinsho (Gold General). I confused this piece with the Silver General, and drew some false conclusions.
