Here is what may be the shortest and most efficient way to do what you
want. In addition to creating a dummy position with a PseudoKing on it and
making the goal checkmate of this piece, use an otherwise unused direction
to link any space the Pawn must reach to win with the dummy space. Then
give the Pawn some extra move code as simple as (tovictory add), assuming
that tovictory is the direction you used. This dispenses with the need to
test for zones or change a piece's type. And that dispenses with the need
to create zones and an additional piece type.
