Alice Chess. Classic Variant where pieces switch between two boards whenever they move. (2x(8x8), Cells: 128) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

From my point of view, the most interesting Alice Chess End-Game Tables would be:

King and Queen vs King and Rook,

King and Rook vs King and Knight,

King and Dragon Horse vs King and Knight.

I want to believe that a Dragon Horse(BW) can defeat a Knight on the 8x8 board, but it has never been tested. That confrontation can happen in four of my variants here, including my latest: Alice Courier Chess.

Meanwhile your Checkmating Applet keeps providing solutions to my questions. I was delighted to learn that King, Knight and Alibaba(AD) can force stalemate victories in:

25 moves on 8x8 --- 35 moves on 12x8 --- 36 moves on 10x10.
