| 5 | All pieces are of the same color (black on the website), but in fact | |
| 6 | pieces just have no color: you control all | |
| 7 | pieces which stand in the half-board in front of you. These pieces can | |
| 8 | only capture on the other half-board. | |

| 11 | Since captures are mandatory, pieces could make some round-trips | |
| 12 | around the board, changing owner at every mid-board crossing. | |
| 13 | For example on the following diagram, the sequence will be 1.Rxd7 Rxd1 | |
| 14 | 2.Rxd8 and black would win, assuming the final rank is 8th. | |

24 | Knights become knightriders: they can make any number of knight steps in a |
| 25 | direction. There are no en-passant captures, and no castle. | |
