Could you explain how this is different from your "Knight Spiral?"

I mean, I see the positions is slightly changed, but how is the gameplay different? We won't add it if it's just a clone.

I see how it differs,
The bishops now have to capture dead pieces before going to the center.
Also the name, isn't that good. You could change it. It is up to you.

Like @FastQueenAttacker said, I think the main difference is that the hawks have to take the dead pieces instead of just moving to the center. I don't know if this is enough to submit it as a different position though.

First, the map is different (the walls are moved).

Second, you've got an extra wildebeest.

Third, there are dead knights everywhere, so the hawks aren't gonna be as effective as it normally is (like in the knight spiral).

Fourth,  there is an extra square at the base (as shown below)

also, you have the "royal hawk" in the center (on the extra square).

Fifth, red (the bot), have more immune knight so you takeover more and he is more secure because of the dead knights and his immune knights.

Sixth, it's harder to get "hawk" of the hill cause there are dead knights and gets easily checked by opponents cause he is slower than he normally is.

Seventh, since the map has moved, you cannot control the center with just one hawk.

Eighth, wildebeests are slightly better because he could jump like a camel more times (as shown below)

That's all I can think of now

Okay, I'll add it to our test list. Although if we accept this, it would need to be as a replacement for the other one. Are you okay with that?

Avatar of Johnny_Fang

I'm ok with it

Nice work on this position! We tested it and found it to be even better than the original, containing and improving many of the elements in the original, so we're accepting it as a replacement.
