Interesting!

How does GY to O6 East sound? We keep OZ mostly pinned, and also get a chance to steal another cube.

I like it. It also improves our flexibility by making G4 movable.

Wouldn't that just allow them to win with OY to O6 top?

you can't move diagonally and change plane / level / etc. They would have to stop somewhere else first.

It is worth noting that some of their responses to this play mean we have to be careful where we land though.

I must have misunderstood the diagonal movement rules then. I agree with GY to O6 east then.

Interesting! We're not in danger, but it's kind of a standoff. Nobody really wants to be the first one to move, but I think I have a plan: GZ to G3 South.

There are only three moves for OY that don't end in checkmate: O2 East, O4 South, and O1 East. None of them seems particularly good for Orange.

Yeah this seems about like the best way to advance our position without losing.

Also Orange is now Team Rocket.

Makes sense. I assume O1 and O4 aren't actually supposed to have separated from the adjacent column.

Move G4 to below O1 South, maybe? With the nub pointing upward, that also lets us threaten O1, especially if they move OZ.

Is this allowed? I was under the impression that blocks had to "nub into" something when moved, but I could be wrong.

Moves I see that don't lose:
GY can go to G4 or G5 (Any traversal onto O6 loses)
GZ can really only go to G3W., This opens up the pawns options for next turn but doesn't really advance position?
G4 can move on top of O2... that allows O to move the pawn onto it but they can't really move FROM that position. IDK if they'll take the bait or what.
G4 to O1S would need the dome pointing E? To avoid freeing OZ to threaten capture? I would assume we're setting up ..OZ->G1 GZ->O4..OZ->O1Cap GZ-G4 Cap ?

Just kind of spitballing ideas.

I'm 85% sure that using O1's South nub counts for that.

This is an extremely interesting position we're in.

With OZ off the bottom horizontal, GZ to O1 East feels like it could be a good play? Effectively pins OY in place. Even if they go back down to threaten a win, we can just move right back and we're no worse for wear, and the impetus is on them all over again.

I'm ok with this. GY is trapped and I'm not seeing any great cube moves.

The danger is that it doesn't directly threaten them anywhere, so they have a lot of options.

GZ to O3W forces OZ to move. I'm not sure that's a great play but it certainly is one.

G4 on top of O2 with knob pointing E traps OY, but I don't think otherwise advances our position.

GZ can't move to O3W because of nob on G6W.
