If either Camel-h4 or Pawn-f4 moves, Crooked Rook has a path.
If Berolina Pawn g1 moves, Elbow Rook has path.
If N-e4 or N-a4 moves, Elbow Bishop has pathway(different ones).
If Pawn-b4 or Knight-c3 moves, Dragon has pathway,(1+(2or4)) in this case).
If Pawn d3 or d4 moves, Cannon would check, illegal.
King cannot move because of Flamingo, Dabbabah-Rider and Elbow Rook.
