Interesting for Spartan Chess is that when I give the Modern Elephant extra (1,0) non-capture moves in all 4 directions, two of them can actually overwhelm a Knight. The Spartan Lieutenant is the exact intermediate between this enhanced E and the basic E. When I take that average in another way, by using one enhanced E plus a basic one, the end-game is only marginally above criticality: eventually it is generally won, won the number of won positions per DTC bin does hardly increase from the beginning, and at times falls back to a very low value, to revive again, until finally after ~200 moves, it explodes and exhausts all remaining positions.

Soit is not clear whether two genuine Spartan Lieutenants will be able to beat the Knight. I guess I should really suppress the diagonal symmetry in the generator, and do the true calculation.
