+ | Musketeer Chess was invented by Zied Haddad in 2011.
+ | You can read the rules of this game and order fairy pieces sets on the
+ a(href="https://musketeerchess.net/home/index.html") official website
+ | . The corresponding
+ a(href="https://www.jocly.com/#/games") playing area
+ | allows to play (really) many games, with nice 3-D pieces. It seems
+ | that for now you can only play against a AI, but this will change.

+h3 Rules summary
+
+p.
+ At the very first turn of the game, White must choose a piece which will
+ be later introduced into play.
+ Play this move from the reserve below the board to any free square.
+ Then, Black must do the same with another of the remaining pieces.
+
+p.
+ At the second move, White brings the first chosen piece (still from the
+ reserve) to any location on its first rank.
+ Then Black do the same for this first piece,
+ and on the third turn a location for the second selected piece is decided.
+
+p.
+ The game now proceeds normally, following orthodox chess rules.
+ However, when a piece where you placed an extra figure is moved for the
+ first time, the new piece comes into play on the starting square —
+ as in Seirawan Chess.

+h3 New pieces movements
+
+p
+ | They are detailed for example on the
+ a(href="https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/musketeer-chess")
+ | chessvariants page
+ | , but let's sum up their behavior here as well.
+ | "Bishop[X]" indicates a piece moving like a limited range Bishop,
+ | restricted to X squares in any diagonal direction.
+
+ul
+ li Leopard (L) = Knight + Bishop[2]
+ li Cannon (C) = King + Wide Knight + Dabbabah
+ li Unicorn (U) = Knight + Camel
+ li Elephant (E) = King + Alfil + Dabbabh
+ li Hawk (H) = Alfil + Tripper
+ li Fortress (F) = Narrow Knight + Dabbabah + Bishop[3]
+ li Spider (S) = Knight + Dabbabah + Bishop[2]
+
+p With
+ul
+ li Alfil = two squares leaper in diagonal
+ li Dabbabah = 2 squares leaper orthogonally
+ li
+ a(href="http://gambiter.com/chess/variants/Tripper_chess.html") Tripper
+ | = 3 squares leaper diagonally
+ li.
+ Camel = extended Knight,
+ 3 squares in one direction and then 1 to the side
+ li Wide Knight and Narrow Knight: restricted Knight, see the image below.

+ Note: the Dragon, Chancellor and Archbishop were removed, because these
+ pieces are already seen in several other variants, and, they are a bit
+ too powerful — especially the Dragon.
