Bison. Makes (1-3)-jump or (2-3)-jump.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Bison moves h7-e6-g3-d4-c1-f2-c4 to force mate in six in this position: White King (b3), White Bison (h7), Black King (b1). The Black King has very little freedom - it must alternate between (b1) and an adjacent square. I could use an answer to the following question. In general, can the Bison force a lone King into a corner (and checkmate) on a 12x12 board? [EDIT] For a positive answer, check out some comments made in July 2008.
