RN30 Reduction, similarity to Lavieri's Reducer in Altair etc. 9.82473769 x 10^22 CVs (approx. 98 sextillion). (a) no effect (b) Pawns 'reduce', so that any piece adjacent to enemy Pawn can move/capture one square only. 'Reduced' B, R, Q go one square only along their regular paths, whereas Knight thus reduced becomes Wazir + Ferz and Falcon becomes Squirrel(N+Dabbabah+Alfil) all leaping components with no two-path necessary. (c) 30b Pawn reduction does not extend to Falcons. (d) 30b Pawn's reducing ability covers only Knights and Falcons. (e) 30b Pawns reduce only if on dark-square half of board. (f) 30b Pawns reduce (all enemy others adjacent) only once having crossed the center line. (g) 30b Pawns reduce only by lateral or forward one-square adjacencies. (h) 30b Pawns reducing (not isolated) next to last rank, one step from promotion, are themselves immune to capture at all. In tribute to the size range we pass through currently>  Elephants and Sunflowers: long stems;  Camels and Peanuts: humps.
