Weekly Challenge 160: Skywalker

Weekly Challenge 160: Skywalker

Win a game of Chess vs @PS-Greedy-Two-Move (or @PST-Greedy-Tom) where your King does this longest walk along the top rank.

Adjudication Criteria:
1. Most consecutive turns moving the King in one direction along the top rank.
2. Earliest move/ply where the 'skywalker' sequence begins.
3. Fewest moves (plies) in overall game
4. Earliest Entry

Additional Clarification:
- Takebacks are not permitted
- As White, the top rank is a8-h8, and so the maximum score is 7 consecutive turns moving from a8-h8, or h8-a8.
- As Black, the top rank is a1-h1, and so the maximum score is 7 consecutive turns moving from a1-h1, or h1-a1.

May the fourth be with you!

Closing Date: Monday 11th May 1200 UTC+0
