Don't even try!

However, I presume you would apply the same rule to the Soaring Eagle
and Horned Falcon? In which case, something along the lines of the
following position might make a difference:

11,L/12/12/12/12/12/12/9,K,P,1/8,P,3/8,R+,p,p,p/10,dh+,1/8,gb,k,2/

Anyone care to check this out and refine it (of course, the position
cannot arise, as the three Pawns cannot exist on the third rank)?
