<P>Even with the URL fixed, the link to CWDA does not go to a page describing the Doughnut, and although I recently programmed CWDA for Game Courier, I don't remember this piece from any of the armies for this game.</P> <P>Carpenter is an obscure name for this piece. For me, it brings to mind Jesus Christ or Karen Carpenter. If you want the name to combine the ideas of Knight and a War Machine made of wood, some better names would be Trojan Horse, Rocking Horse, or War Horse. I particularly like <A HREF='http://www.answers.com/topic/war-horse'>War Horse</A>.</P> <P>David is right that this piece could mate a King with help from only another King. The checkmated King would have to be in the corner, with the other King covering two of its neighboring squares in the same rank or file, and this piece attacking the King and covering the other neighboring square. The size of the board shouldn't make this any less possible. The main question is whether this piece is strong enough to force the enemy King into the corner with help from only one's own King.</P>
