Strategy notes

Turn the constraint into a lever.

Plan around it

  • The mines appear after your 6th move.
  • Keep the king and major pieces away from likely landing squares.

Keep in mind

  • The enemy's information does not change which moves are legal.
  • A king may land on a mine, and if it dies the match ends immediately.
