I'm not sure how your race plays into this, but i would move AC58 foward one space

You best bet is to launch a glider at c4. I recommend:

Pattern type Spaceship
Number of cells 5
Bounding box 3 × 3
Frequency class 1.8
Direction Diagonal
Period 4
Mod 2
Speed c/4 | c/4
Heat 4

Historical note: An R-pentomino tracked past T = 69 in late 1969 certainly implies that the glider, and a number of other objects such as blocks and blinkers, were first seen by Conway's group before 1970.

Call an arbiter. There's a black pawn and a white pawn on their respective back ranks. That's an illegal position.

This image gets worse the more you look at it because there are almost no legal moves and the few legal ones are within a contained space, but i did find the actual answer.

Undefended white pawn allows a bishop to break free to then free the rooks.

OP, i kinda recommend making this pawn and its cousins in the pattern black to make this truly unsolvable.
