  | Exotic pieces capturing in quite unorthodox ways.

p.
  Based on Ultima (Baroque) and Rococo, this game has pieces that capture in
  unusual ways. They are illustrated and then described below.
  They all move like an orthodox queen &mdash; except the King and Pawns.

  The object of the game is to capture the opposing king.
  A player unable to move or who causes three time repetition loses as well.

h3 Pieces description

p From left to right on white side:
ul
  li.
    The Immobilizer (I) (spider) immobilizes all adversary pieces adjacent
    to it, except another immobilizer.
  li.
    The Pushme-Pullyu (U) (gnu) captures pieces which are on its line of
    movement, either just below the first square or right after the final
    square. It cannot capture both, however.
  li.
    The Archer (A) (bow) captures by "shooting": it can remove any enemy
    piece P standing in its range, provided that
    ul
      li P is standing at most two squares from the archer, or,
      li.
        a friendly piece is at a distance of two squares or less from P,
        without obstacle between it and P.
    In both cases the archer must have a clear path until the target.
  li.
    The Shield (S) protects all friendly pieces adjacent to it: they
    cannot be captured. The shield cannot capture.
  li King and Queen moves and capture as in standard chess.
  li.
    The Long Leaper (L) (frog) captures by jumping over a piece,
    as in Draughts. It can capture only one piece like this. It can land
    on any square beyond the target.
  li.
    The Swapper (W) can exchange its position with any enemy piece at queen's
    distance. Additionally, if it is sitting next to an enemy piece it might
    capture it by mutual destruction: both pieces disappear.

p.
  (Cannon) Pawns move like a king, with an additional ability.
  If a piece is standing just next (friendly or not), they can leap
  over it to land just behind. If this last square is occupied by the enemy,
  a capture occurs.

  Pawns can promote, optionally, when reaching the last rank,
  only in a piece which is currently out of the board.
