Variants Puzzle #3: War for Throne II (Green to Move)
I think a better puzzle would be to figure out how Green doesn't win...
Really, if I was Red, I would just resign unless Green played something silly like h8. But even then, Green's still winning. The problem here is that Yellow can be stalemated, or heck, even checkmated by Red. Green's still getting 80 points for KOTH, and there's nothing Red or Yellow can do about it, unless Green's dumb enough to not protect the centre, and Red lets Yellow win. Even if Blue wanted to gift the win to Red, I can't find any lines where they beat out Green's royal king from getting to the centre.
green should just let yellow get stalemated/checkmated then just get koth getting +80 points therefore winning
