   2   Moves are potentially played in two times: move a piece,
   3   and / or push or pull something with that unit.
   4
   5 p.
   6   Pieces have the same movement as in orthodox chess, but they cannot
   7   take other pieces in the usual way. Instead of the normal captures, pieces
   8   can pull or push other pieces, potentially off the board.
   9   The goal is to send the enemy king off the board.
  10
  11 p Each turn, a player has the following options:
  12 ul
  13   li.
  14     Move one of his pieces normally, then optionally pull something as an
  15     effect of this move.
  16   li.
  17     Push any piece with one of his pieces, then optionally follow the pushed
  18     piece.

  32   The e2 pawn can move to e3 and e4 as usual. It can also slide diagonally,
  33   being pushed by the bishop or the queen (which may or may not move along
  34   this line afterward). It can also go to c3, being pushed by the knight from
  35   g1; then the knight can move to e2, or stay motionless.
  36   Finally, the pawn can "take the king": this is a special move indicating that
  37   you want it to exit the board. Indeed it could be pushed off the board by the
  38   bishop or the queen.

  41   Note: if you don't want to play a second part in a move, just click on any
  42   empty square: this will replace the second part by an empty move.

  54     When they could reach the square beyond the edge,
  55     pieces can exit the board by themselves, possibly dragging another piece
  56     out (friendly or enemy).

  66   It is forbidden to undo a "move + action". For example here, white could
  67   push back the black bishop on g7 but not return to d4 then.

  77   Castling is possible as long as the king and rook have not moved and
  78   haven't been pushed or pulled (this differs from the chessvariants

  84   The game ends when a push or pull action threatens to send the king off the
  85   board, and he has no way to escape it.

  93   The king cannot "take" on g4: this would just push the queen one step to the
  94   left, and she would then push the king beyond the 'h' file.
  95   There are no en-passant captures.
