Royal Exclusion Zone

Here is a new approach to the Slippery King problem on 6x6x6 boards, somewhat inspired by the rules of Chinese Chess. Both checkmate and stalemate count as wins. Let the King move in six directions like a Wazir, but forbid all other Kings from entering any of the 26 adjacent cells. This choice of words will also exclude a 'friendly' King in a four player game.
