  31 ol
  32     li Checkmate opponent king
  33     li Anti-checkmate opponent antiking
  34 p ...Or maybe do both at the same time?
  35
  36 p Note 1: athough antiking captures his color, it doesn't check his king.
  37
  38 p
  39     | Note 2: since it would allow a basic tactic (keep antiking touching opponent's
  40     | king), kings do not attack antikings.
  41
  42 p Note 3: an antiking does not check opponent's antiking.
