29 | Castling is possible as in orthodox 8x8 game. The white king move to c1 or i1 | |
30 | (one square to the left of bottom-right corner) for large (resp. small) castle. | |
31 | Same for black on the other side. | |

34 | Promotion is mandatory for a pawn reaching the last rank. However, they can only | |
35 | promote into a friendly piece captured (which is back on the board). If none is | |
36 | available, the promotion on last rank is impossible and the pawn cannot move. | |
37 | ||
38 | p Pawn promotion is possible (but not forced) on the two ranks before last. | |
