There is a better solution to 'Ultima Problem 9!
The variant that I play does not allow for suicide, so barring this, the
soluction is simply:
White: LL at F8 -> G7, blocking all moves but a suicide, or leaping (LL H8
go have fun!)
White now threatens checkmate with LL G7->G6!
This brings up an important question of mine:
Do pieces in Baroque/Ultima have 'Kill zones' (areas of instantaneous
vaporization) - That is, Do they create instant death in their 'kill
zone' at all times, or must a piece move into a position to make the
kill?
(ie: can my LL G7 move into G6 in above solution?)
