+ Pieces have the same movement as in orthodox chess, but they cannot + take other pieces in the usual way. Instead of the normal captures, pieces + can pull or push other pieces, potentially off the board. + The goal is to send the enemy king off the board. +
+ +Each turn, a player has the following options:
++ It seems easier to understand with some examples. For a detailed + introduction please visit + + this page + (in French). +
+ ++ The e2 pawn can move to e3 and e4 as usual. It can also slide diagonally, + being pushed by the bishop or the queen (which may or may not move along + this line afterward). It can also go to c3, being pushed by the knight from + g1; then the knight can move to e2, or stay motionless. + Finally, the pawn can "take the king": this is a special move indicating that + you want it to exit the board. Indeed it could be pushed off the board by the + bishop or the queen. +
+ ++ Note: if an action is possible but you don't want to play a second part in + a move, click on any empty square: this will send an empty move. +
+ ++ It is forbidden to undo a "move + action". For example here, white could + push back the black bishop on g7 but not return to d4 then. +
+ ++ Castling is possible as long as the king and rook have not moved and + haven't been pushed or pulled (this differs from the chessvariants + description). +
+ ++ The game ends when a push or pull action threatens to send the king off the + board, and he has no way to escape it. +
+ ++ The king cannot "take" on g4: this would just push the queen one step to the + left, and she would then push the king beyond the 'h' file. + There are no en-passant captures. +
