As a reminder, though moving the king to the Pleasure Garden is a fun way to win, the king still may not enter check, even when promoted. If that is your goal, remember you must block or remove my pieces that are guarding that cell.

And I hate to bring this up, but it still seems silly to me to keep Ric's promotion zone. both our lances could promote at any time to a surprisingly powerful piece without any difficulty.

I will await your response before moving. You may take back your last move if you feel your move of your king was wasted.
