Based off of this puzzle and this Youtube video
Rules:
- You control the pieces labeled
kn
(knight),b
(bishop), andr
(rook) - You are trying to capture the piece labeled
ok
(opponent king) - You move pieces as usual, however after every move, unless there is a black square under them (labeled
x
in the text version) or it is on the floor or there is another piece that you control beneath it, the piece that you moved will fall until it hits one of the three things that I mentioned. - If a piece hits the
ok
, it is captured. ok
cannot move.- Walls and floors can be passed through by
kn
.
The puzzle:

Now my question to you is:
What is the minimum number of moves needed to capture the opponent’s king?
