RN 29 Hegemony, newly-devised Mutator. (Differently Japanese medieval 25x25 Tai Shogi has Emperor that can always move to any square on the board, except opposite Emperor's if protected.) (a) no effect (b) Any Knight upon reaching the last rank is immediately placed on any square (to capture too) other than one of that same last rank's squares and either King's square. (c) Instead, any Falcon reaching final rank (opposite its initial Pawns's row) has the 'hegemony drop' that one move. (d) Knights and Falcons have 'hegemony'. (e) Only Bishop has hegemony (always immediate mandatory one-turn implementation upon reaching last rank). (f) Hegemony of 29b (Knight) permits 'capturing' (checkmating) unguarded King. (g) Hegemony of 29c (Falcon) can thus 'checkmate' unguarded King. (h) In a twist, hegemony applies only to Kings themselves. Note throughout this Mutator permits up to two captures in one move. 1.22809221 x 10^22(over 12 sextillion). Present range in about RN23 to RN38 closely match and follow number of atoms or instead H2O molecules, progressively in Virus(interface inanimate), Prokaryotic cell, Eukaryotic cell, Argentinasuarus(largest), and all the gizmos 'twixt.
