- At the very first move, players may decide to swap positions of adjacent
- knights and bishops. Either on both sides, or on one only. To bypass this
- step (or end it after a first swap), move your king to the opponent's king.

-p.
- Known pieces move as usual, with one exception: the pawn only promotes
- to a queen (named "Gilding" in this game). Additionally, all pieces can
- promote — except queen and king:
-ul
- li Rook promotes into Dragon = Rook + King.
- li Knight promotes into Scepter = Knight + King.
- li Bishop promotes into Horse = Bishop + King.
- li Cardinal promotes into Queen (called "Whole" here).
- li Marshal promotes into Queen (called "Apricot" here).
-p.
- All these promotions are optional. They are available after a move ending
- at or starting from the last two ranks.
-
-p.
- Each captured piece is first returned to its unpromoted version (if
- applicable), and then added to a reserve. It can be dropped later
- in place of a move.
-
-h3 Some details
-
-p.
- Pawns can initially advance three squares.
- On the third rank, they can still advance two squares.
- A dropped pawn cannot give checkmate.
-
-p While castling, the king moves three squares lateraly.
-
-p.
- Threefold repetition is a draw, unless caused by a perpetual check.
- In this case, the player giving check loses.
