| 17 | Notation for camel is C and wildebeest is W. A camel moves as a knight but with a | |
| 18 | longer jump: 3 squares in one direction, and 1 left or right after that. | |
| 19 | The wildebeest combines the moving abilities of a camel and a knight. | |

| 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 occurs when pawns reach last rank. | |
| 35 | They can only transform into a queen or a wildebeest. | |

| 39 | p You can win by checkmating or stalemating the enemy king. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | p. | |
| 42 | Note: the castling rule is more restrictive than described in the original rules. | |
| 43 | I have a feeling that the game is OK like that, but I may change this soon. | |
