[comment edited to include diagram] I have a question about the rules of this game, based on an unlikely situation. If a player A's king has just been bared, but the following move he stalemates his opponent (Player B) by using his own king to do so, what should the result of the game be? Below is an example, i.e. if 1...Pb3xa2 (baring White's king) 2.Kc3-c2 (stalemating Black immediately after White's king was bared), what is the result of the game?

P.S.: To write again of examples of what a rook level fairy chess piece may be, I seem to recall others before me have valued a nightrider as worth about 5 pawn units. That's besides the superbishop (aka promoted bishop in Shogi), which also happens to be placed in the same piece type class as a rook by the inventor of the popular 8x8 variant Pocket Mutation Chess.

[edit: Note to editors of CVP: I have a submission I gave to CVP last week that's to be reviewed.]
