+ As in Relay Chess, there is no castle or en passant captures, and pawns
+ can only advance one square forward (by themselves).
+
+p However, I made two substantial changes:
+ul
+ li.
+ Being relayed by a friendly piece adds moving options, without canceling
+ the base movements of a piece. Thus the relay is an "upgrade", explaining
+ the chosen name "Relayup".
+ li.
+ Pawns relayed by any friendly piece (except pawns) gain the ability to
+ move and capture like it, but by one step only.

+ Finally, since stalemate counts as a win and (I believe) no fully blocked
+ positions can be reached, the goal is now to capture the enemy king.
+ You can theoretically go or remain into check.
