Description

Designed to train combinational vision in unexpected formations for games on checkered fields. According to the champion's opinion during an interview with Google, endgames in this case are limited to four pairs, or eight pieces in total. This will allow to compare the effectiveness of the solutions against the endgame databases.

Rules

1st roll — for the placement of the main figures; 2nd, 3rd, 4th throws — on the remaining pairs of pieces.

General restrictions:
• kings (generals) cannot be in check or mate;
• unpromoted pawns and draughts cannot be on the last horizontals;
• the corresponding pieces of asian chess must not be located outside the fortresses or possible coordinates;
• additional features (for example, kinjite) for each variant of the game on the checkered field.
