I may have shown some of you a video in which I play a real Teams game with vrdtmr and a king capture occurs in 14 plies (Only 4 move cycles).

Just today, I came up with a faster way to do it. There are only 7 important moves that must occur. The rest are arbitrary.

[StartFen4 ""]
[Variant "Teams"]

1. f2-f3 .. b9-c9 .. d13-d11 .. Nn10-l9
2. Qg1-e3 .. Na5-c6 .. Nj14-i12 .. Nl9-n10
3. Qe3-e12 .. Nc6-a5 .. d11-d10+ .. Nn10-l9
4. Qe12xKa8
