Eiffel Chess: Similar to Madrasi, but the paralysis occurs rather differently, in the sequence P-N-B-R-Q-P. A Pawn paralyses an enemy Knight; a Knight paralyses an enemy Bishop, and so on. A paralyzed unit loses all powers except that of causing paralysis. Fairy pieces play normal, without paralysis. (Madrasi: Units, other than Kings, are paralysed when they attack each other. Paralysed units cannot move, capture or give check, their only power being that of causing paralysis.)
