Pyramid Chase

While researching hexagonal chess variants I realised that a pyramidal variant can better be played on a hexagonal grid, rather than a square grid. This game is played on a 33 ranks and 33 files pyramid with 561 hexagons.  

Setup

The initial setup looks like this:

 

Pieces

Each player has a regular chess set. In the initial setup the black Queens swaps places with the black King.

To be continued...

Rules

The goal of the game is to reach the top of the pyramid. The first King to reach the top wins.
