So, now we are on minor pieces contests. In apothecary 2 camels vs zebras has started. This is set up by replacing in the initial setup the camel with a zebra for a player and vice-versa for the other. Zebras vs Elephants is next. This will be set up by replacing an elephant with a zebra an deleting the other elephant and for the other player just deleting the zebra. No other pieces are deleted for the sake of consistence. In apothecary 2, where the initial setup has 2 of each minor pieces (say bishops vs elephants) one player gets deleted one set of minors where the other gets deleted the other set of minors. This is also what always happens in apothecary 1.

Results for camels vs zebras and elephants vs knights coming soon.
