Yes, but of course before passing the attacked set back to the routine one
should mask it with some appropriate allowed to move/capture set.
May a piece capture a passers in eg. n <= 4 moves/captures, considering opposite
null moves, except pushing the passer? What's the "best" way to develop a piece?
Detecting trapped pieces, the flood stops after two iterations etc...

Hehe, may be in some special endings, eg. blocked pawns and bishops.
