| 5 | | This variant is based on | |

| 13 | p However, I made two substantial changes: | |
| 14 | ul | |
| 15 | li. | |
| 16 | Being relayed by a friendly piece adds moving options, without canceling | |
| 17 | the base movements of a piece. Thus the relay is an "upgrade", explaining | |
| 18 | the chosen name "Relayup". | |

| 32 | You can theoretically go or remain into check. |
