Again about a new kind of Chess (a win by capturing a pawn).
Below are new conflicts:
6. What if a bared king captures a pawn? Is it a win or a draw?
7. Can a side claim a draw before a bared king of the other side captures his pawn?
8. What if a "usual" win by checkmating is not possible, but
win by capturing a pawn is?
9. There are some conflicts with "a dead draw" rule...
10. In general: what win (a rule) has more priority...?

And some general point of view.
Somebody wants to create a new kind of Chess by adding a phrase "the orthodox rules plus a win by capturing a pawn". Do not be so naive! It is so a radical change to rules of Chess!!! These rules have been formed for more than 500 years. And that somebody wants to execute his job by one minute? (without much thinking about it). It is not surprising that some of us do not understand even basic new rules (threatening a pawn as "royal", etc.). Also, it will be very difficult psychologically to accept these new crucial rule (even after resolving some conflicts). It seems we break some scientific tendencies (what would not happen if the suggested rules were not so radical..).

... Thank you, Yefim.
