Borderline

 

Borderline: A minimalistic version with a 7x7 board, no pawns, with only one king to capture, capturing pieces is omitted.

A version for a quick game - uncomplicated and yet strategically challenging!

Setup

 

The king starts in the center of the board. The pieces of the two opponents line up on their baseline. Rank 4 is the borderline.
