💀Who participates in the mini-duel

A mini duel always starts with an Attack on a piece.

The following must participate in the mini-duel: Attacking piece and Defending piece.

May also participate:

• From the side of the attacking piece: all pieces of the attacking player that can also attack the defending piece.

• From the side of the defending piece: all the pieces of the defending player that can attack the square where the defending piece stands.

Let's take a look at an example:

Suppose a Zombie Pawn Warrior is attacking an Elven Pawn Warrior (big red arrow). In this case, these two Pawns will definitely participate in the mini-duel.

But, since the Elven Warrior Pawn can also be attacked by Zombie Knight Warrior and Zombie Bishop Warrior (thin red arrows), they can also participate in this mini-duel.

At the same time, Elven Pawn Warrior is under the protection of two Elven Pawn Mage and Elven Knight Warrior, respectively, they can also participate in this mini-duel.

Such a mechanic of determining the pieces participating in mini-duels gives players an excellent opportunity to "Draw" strong enemy pieces (for example, the King or Queen) into the duel, focusing their attack on them and significantly weakening the opponent's position in a chess game.
