ATTENTION EDITORS: the applet wants to play the illegal move 17... e7-e5 in the game below, ignoring the White Rook on e6. I wonder if two-step initial pawn moves were coded as leaps here. EDIT [10/22/2024] Thanks for all your work on these applets. The game now correctly ends with *** stalemate ***
At first glance, the final position arrived at might appear impossible, so I decided to provide a complete game, which can be copypasted into the chess applet here. Such "blockade stalemates" are highly unusual, but need to be kept in mind whenever you are writing brand new rules for a chess variant.
