@H.G., the EGT (linked in the Notes) is acting funny, producing a starting array that is horizontally symmetric.

I have noticed the general method. Thanks!

For larger board sizes you can try the general Checkmating Applet, upto 16x16. That also makes it more obvious what the general method is, for driving towards the edge, and then towards the corner.

Ok, thanks. It seems chessV in Grand chess cannot do it with small variantion. It probably does it with none, though! I tried that!

Use the "Try it" link in the Notes section, and start playing for black to see how it is done.

Does this piece and king mate a lone king? How? Is it similar to KNB vs K? Does it work on any rectangular board?
