Moves are mandatory, and if the game ends by stalemate then the winner is determined by whether the boundary has been reached.
Any boundary hit is a win for ESCAPER, otherwise BLOCKER wins.
Hitting the boundary before either side has declared is an immediate loss.
Unlur or "chicken" starting:- both sides play moves as if for the weaker side, in this case blocker. If at any time a player feels blocker is now certain to win, he announces "I Block!", but does not make a move. The other player is thus escaper and plays the first move in regular alternation.
Note: If, still on the first phase, a player makes a stalemate position he loses (the other say 'I block' and he cannot continue)

This game uses a similar concept as in Unlur, which might imply a new family of games: "Chicken Games".
