Note that on a normal 8x8 board Knight + Padwar can also force checkmate in corners of the shade the Padwar is not on: the 'choice mate' described for N + FAD also works for Padwar. With Alice rules you have an extra restriction that the King in the final position is on the board where it is in check, but you have the possibility to prevent the bare King escaping its confinement by blocking it, on a square where you otherwise would be captured by it. The Nf1 manoeuvre is only possible with Alice rules.
