If Archbishop-a4 or Berolina Pawn-b4 moves, Scorpion has a pathway.
If either Archbishop-c4 or -c3 moves, Cannon-c6 reaches King.
If Bishop at d4 moves, Wolf has path.
If Berolina Pawn-e4 moves, Rhino has path.
If Marshall-e3 moves, Elbow Bishop has path.
If Queen at g4 moves, Quintessence at j5 has path.
If Knight at g1 moves, Priest has pathway h8-g7-h6-i7-j6-i5-j4-i3-j2-
i1-h2-g1-f2-e1-d2-c1.
King cannot move because of Cannon at d7 and Canon at h7. (9)
