Azemmour 7 theme

In each phase, only two pieces play, one white and one black. Several special cases can be distinguished. If the same piece of some side plays in all phases, such case is called White or Black Monopoly. If pieces of some side are different in all phases, such case is called White or Black Anti-monopoly. Mixed forms are also possible. At least two phases and two moves are required.
