The opponent's only sensible responses, therefore, are to either capture the advanced pawn or advance the threatened one, the latter only being sensible in the case that there is one threatened pawn rather than two. If one restricts 3× N hexapawn with the additional rule that capturing is always compulsory, the result is the game Dawson's chess.
