10 Orthodox rules apply on each board.

34 En-passant and castle occur as they do in the standard game.
35 More specifically, en-passant is possible regardless of the worlds pawns
36 are in. This is justified because pawns "go through the mirror" while moving,
37 and can thus be captured either right after or just before they pass the
38 mirror.
39 Castling should be legal according to orthodox rules on the board 1 (it
40 cannot occur on board 2, because it would mean king and rook moved).
41 Moreover, the king cannot be in check on board 2 after castling.

43p.
44 Any move played should be legal on the board it is done,
45 and result in a legal situation on the other board. For example
46 1.Pe4 Pd5 2.Be2!? Sxe4?? 3.Cb5# is checkmate because
47 3...Kd7 is not valid on board 1.
