21 Queens, rooks, bishops and knights begin the game in a reserve below
22 the board, because their location isn't determined yet.
23 At each turn, you can either move something already defined on the board, or
24 ol

38 At the first move, you must select a square for the king anywhere on
39 the first rank — preferably in a corner. This deviates from the
40 original intention of the author, but this way you will not need to castle

44 If after your move all your pieces are defined (and weren't before), then
45 all pieces on board revert to undefined state, unless:

47 li.
48 all your pieces (board + reserve) are now of the same type,
49 in which case none is put back in reserve, or
50 li.
51 all opponent's pieces are of the same type, in which case
52 they also remain defined.
