The main sequence here illustrates what's wrong with the initial setup for Pawnless Ecumenical Chess. When I pointed this out to you, you sent me a second proposal for a setup: ' Would a back rank running Rook-Marshal-Gnu-Queen-King-Canvasser-Cardinal-Rook solve it?' At first, I thought this took care of the problem, but it appears to create a new problem instead: Less cut and dry but still a bit alarming (Two threads listed there.)

I very much want Pawnless Ecumenical Chess to work, but I'm not sure there is a setup that does. Maybe this one though, a very slight alteration of the second one, simply transposing cardinal with gnu.
