RN212 Wolf & Shepherd. (a) no effect (b) Specifiy some one piece-type as Wolf for both Black and White, another as Shepherd, lasting the duration. Wolf (NBFR or Q) may capture a Pawn with immunity for one turn except from Shepherd. Of course by the second turn, Wolf may be captured anywhere by any unit unless just having captured another Pawn. (c) 'b', King can always capture Wolf. (d) 'c' King and Queen, and also exception whenever Wolf gives check in Pawn-capturing. (e) 'c' King, Queen and (another) Pawn (f) 'b', Wolf can thus capture and immediately self-immolate (rare advantage to establish a check). (g) 'b', Wolf can additionally capture Shepherd with one-turn immunity. (h) 'b', Shepherd may always capture Wolf in the manner of the Wolf (piece-specific inverse capture). (i) 'h', also Wolf may capture Shepherd by inverse capture. (j) 'b', any Pawn doubly protected voids the effect. (k) 'b', Pawn triply protected nullifies the Wolf's special power. (l) 'e' and 'i' (m) 'e', 'f', 'i' (n) 'e', 'f', 'i' and 'j' (m) After capturing Pawn, Wolf can unmask as a 'Werewolf' by sacrificing any one own individual piece, immediately removed from board, thereby conferring two-turn immunity -- void upon Wolf's moving again. (p) 'o' three-turn. Cumulative: 1.89498130 x 10^40 Chess Variates. Lesson: e to the power of (pi times i) plus one = ? Despite infinite possible answers, only one can be correct, under many names: zero(0), Null, zilch, naught, cipher.
