Petrov's Triangle
1827




The common rule is that once the three kings are set they have 13 moves to win.
Both Gonyaev' Shtyk and Petrov's Triangle work but Petrov's Triangle is easier to remember.

There are three stages:
Stage 1 - take both double lines.

Stage 2 - while on double line take one of tripple lines, this forces the opposing king to leave the other tripple line.
