|}
'''King Challenger''' ([[Zhoushi language|Zhoushi]]: ''Kral ƿyzivaꞇeλ'') is a type of the brayout king, that is traditionally assigned to a less experienced player challenging a more experienced one, or to a minor partner in a match between two players of a different societal or allegorical statute. A player with this figure traditionally plays second.

It is no longer used in the competetive brayout matches, with a sole exception of a match between a challenger and a [[Brayout#Champions|holding World Champion]]. However, there is no clear protocol on when this is to be used instead of the [[Brayout#Rules|7 pawn throw]] and often is based on the agreement between the two players.

Winning with a King Challenger is seen as of higher value morally, while offering the play as the King Challenger is seen as giving your opponent your respects for their achievements or recognizing their cotemporary position within the traditional hierarchy.

It is most commonly denoted by a [[wikipedia:Tiara|''tiara'']] crown with a [[wikipedia:Omega|letter Omega]] a [[wikipedia:Monde|''monde'']].
