| 18 | Instead of a normal move, a piece may be exchanged with an adjacent friendly one. | |
| 19 | Switching can move pawns until rank 1 or final rank. In the first case a 2-squares | |
| 20 | jump is possible, and in the second a promotion occurs. | |
| 21 | Switching must involves two different units. | |
| 22 | Switching while the king is under check is not allowed. | |

| 25 | Notation: a switch move is marked by the capital letter 'S' followed by | |
| 26 | the exchanged squares. Example in diagram: Sb8c8 | |

| 34 | Note: if the king and rook are on two adjacent squares, castling and switching | |
| 35 | from the king are triggered in the same way. Castling takes priority: | |
| 36 | if you wanna switch, use the rook. | |
