Bo, the reigning champion, saw no move to make. The tournament committee set up on a larger board ten normal Pawns for each side and two Queens and also two Cardinals for White. Cardinal can move as either Bishop or Knight. Those were strong pieces for White to go with Rook, Bishop, two Knights and Wolf. Quintessence is on c7. Dragon a6. Fox a5. Cannon e6. Elbow Rook g5. Immobilizer j5. Wolf g6. Sissa h7.

Again Bo was puzzled and embarrassed to find a way, not to say hamstrung, and the championship was at stake. Moving Knight-a1 gives Fox a pathway. Pawn-c3 or the Rook open up for five-step Dragon. Queen move allows Quintessence in. Either Cardinal (aka Archbishop, aka Centaur) brings on Cannon prohibition. Bishop moving gives Wolf its path needed, and Knight does so for Sissa. Unbeknownst the sudden death playoff game has not opening at all possible.
