I am going to take the [2005-10-05] comment of 'CharlesFort' a step further: Maharaja and the Sepoys on a 12x12 board! See Chess on a 12 by 12 board for the location of the 16 Black pieces. Now I am not claiming a victory for the Sepoys here, but they should be able to defend themselves and secure a draw. Try moving each Rook back one square (to c11 and h11) and the Knights to b11 and i11. All Black pieces are now protected, so the Rooks can simply slide back and forth along rank 11.
