Make no mistake. Each 'solution' is a new CV game, because no piece-mix
duplicates, let alone the specific array. These are 'directed initial
positions', having strict stipulations. Viz., the requirement, from the
outset, is White's having no legal move, not even a Pawn, from an
otherwise legal position, subject to: (1) 50% piece density (2) Equal
numbers both sides in own board-half (3)Half of them Pawns (4) Kings
back-ranked (5) CVPage pieces. Not so strict stipulation would be (6)No
overuse of Immobilizer(Ultima piece), more than one being inelegant.
