There are two possible solutions to the “no royal pieces” problem:
  • If you transform the pieces so you have no royal pieces on the board, you instantly lose
  • If you have only one royal piece on the board, the other piece is unable to transform
As for the Wuss-Mamra transformation, I think it makes sense that you can’t transform the piece if its compelled to move because the opponent threatens it.
