Shatranj Kamil (64). Modern Shatranj based variant on 8 by 8 board with new pieces. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]My [Rule 5] Bare King Loss, like the FIDE 50 move rule, is intended as a practical solution that will work for the vast majority of games played. I once used the FIDE rules to achieve a draw with K+R against K+R+N. My opponent having only nine minutes remaining on his clock also helped.
Here is a slightly artificial endgame position. White: King (c1), Knight (e1). Black: King (a1), Rook (e2) 5 Pawns (a2, a6, a7, c6, c7). After 1. Nc2+ Rxc2 2.Kxc2 Black has 4 Pawns free to make 3 moves each. White will lose because he needs more than the 10 moves allowed in Shatranj Kamil 64 to achieve stalemate.
