Gamerules: Atomic, Crazyhouse, KoTH, Play for Mate, 14th=N

Goal: Red's royal chancellor needs to reach the hill, but there is a cluster of pieces blocking its way. Figure out how to open Yellow's grasshopper to explode the cluster and allow Red to run to the hill. You must also clear the Yellow ferzes directly in front of the chancellor.

Keep in mind that Blue is slowly stepping toward checkmating Yellow before the grasshopper is freed, so if you are too slow, you will be unable to get to the hill. Even if you do manage to remove the cluster of pieces blocking the hill, Blue will attempt to stop you with his own pieces once Yellow is checkmated.

What if Red drops the pawn next to the green pawn and captures it?

the goal is to get to the hill, unfortunately i can't make this puzzle playable in the analysis board unless there is a second live player (blue) and unless I allow checkmate (because otherwise the timer mechanism doesn't work)

yellow is a rando in the image but it should be a muncher so the grasshopper captures ASAP. puzzle also works fine if yellow is another live player as long as you remember to explode the piece cluster as soon as the dead pawns are cleared. i just made it a bot because i was too lazy to spam wazir moves

Chess.com can't handle my GIF, so here's my solution written down in words:

1) Use the right-most pawn to capture the dead green alfil.

2) Prevent Blue's wazir from making progress by cutting off its path with the alfil

3) Drop the pawn and checkmate Yellow

4) Use the newly gained wazir to trap Blue's wazir and checkmate.
