Strategy notes

Turn the constraint into a lever.

Plan around it

  • Keep the king and original queen safe and mobile before the cadence lands.
  • If the king is in check, the swap waits until the first safe later turn.

Keep in mind

  • If the original queen is missing, that cadence is skipped.
  • Only the original queen is tracked; promoted queens are ignored.
