Traitor Piece
One pawn defects and never comes back.
Every 10 completed player moves, one pawn on the affected side defects permanently to the other side. If no legal pawn can defect, the pending defection stays queued and resolves later on the first safe eligible turn.
Strategy notes
Turn the constraint
into a lever.
Plan around it
- Keep your pawns flexible so a safe defection target stays available.
- Assume the other side may gain a permanent pawn foothold at the cadence boundary.
Keep in mind
- Only pawns can defect.
- The defection does not consume a turn and never appears in move history.
