+ | landing it anywhere instead of moving a piece.
- | Orthodox rules apply, with only one change:
- | every time a piece is captured, the capturer "reserve" of waiting pieces is
- | augmented with this figure. At every move, you may choose to land one of your
- | reserve pieces anywhere on the board (except first and last ranks for pawns),
- | instead of playing a regular move.

- Move notation: an arobase '@' indicate piece landing. For example B@d4 means
- a bishop rebirth on d4 square, and @f3 is a pawn landing on f3.

- Note: capturing a promoted pawn put a pawn in the reserve,
- not the promoted piece. This is to allow to gain material on last rank without
- fear of giving a queen to the opponent.
