Sigh -- I have overlooked the word non-capturing in the description of 
the bishop. Thus it lacks the can-mate property.

I still maintain my rating of Kristensen's game. The symmetry he has
choosen is necessary for the balance because it allows some point
mirror play (in Go, this way of playing is known as mane go). Thus,
an advantage achieved by white on the left side can be got by black on
the
right one. The center square is special, but hard to gain.
