Sequel to the original open tournament of my custom chess position "Ral's Trapped Kings Variant" which can be seen here: https://www.chess.com/tournament/rals-trapped-kings-variant

Note that the position was altered slightly with the removal of the a2 and h7 pawns from the original position. This was done to make the rooks on a1 and h8 more free, thus increasing the complexity of the position, allowing more strategies to be used. This will be the version of this position used going forward
