Bo the world champion couldn't find a move in a bucket. It was even worse: he couldn't make any move at all. This, though Bo holds rank number one and is defending the televised title. The Committee gave him another opportunity in overpowering forces: 3 Queens, 2 Marshalls(RN) and 2 Cardinals(BN) -- against the like of lower-value Flamingo and Sissa and Vao.

Nightrider(NN) is on h7. Flamingo(1,6) e8. Sissa b7. Wolf c7. Camel-rider g7. Canon a5 (Canon aka Vao, Arrow, Lion), Vao. Quintessence b5. Diagonal Narrow Crooked Nightrider(Knappen) j5, Nachtmahr. Cardinal d3. Alibaba d1.

If either Marshall-b4 or -c3 moves, Canon threatens (illegal). If Queen-c2 moves, Quintessence has pathway. If Cardinal-d3 moves Wolf has path. If Cardinal-e2 moves, Sissa can reach King. If Queen-f3 moves, Nightrider at h7 is opened up. If Queen-h4 moves, Diagonal Narrow Crooked Nightrider of j5 prohibits. If Pawn-f4, Camelrider gets the reach. King cannot move because of Flamingo.

"Whoa Bo, pick up the pace! What piece would you be picking up?" choruses the common Foot Soldier.
