And I know that the rules in 'Curiouser and Curiouser' state:

'For example, the King may never move to a checked square on his board,
even though the transfer to the other board immediately afterwards might
actually move the King to a safe square...'

I've always used these stated rules but never really understood the logic
of them.  But hey, it is V.R. Parton's Alice Chess and he had the right
to establish its conditions.  But I've always wondered why.
