Sometimes changing the board size can actually change to outcome.  In shogi
on a board of 10x10 or smaller, king and gold vs. king is usually a win. 
On boards of 11x11 or larger, it is almost never a win.  This phenomenon
usually rears its head where most of the mating power available is in
short-range pieces.
