10 another simple piece on the same side (including a King) by moving
11 onto its square.
12
13p The combined piece moves as either of the two pieces just combined:
14ul
15 li King + Bishop = Pontiff
16 li King + Rook = Dragon King
17 li King + Knight = Cavalier King
18 li Bishop + Rook = Queen

41p.
42 An unattacked compound piece may split by moving one
43 of its components, under its own powers of movement, to an empty square.
44ul
45 li A Rook which separates from a piece must move away as a Rook moves.
46 li A Bishop which separates from a piece must move away as a Bishop moves.
47 li A Knight which separates from a piece must move away as a Knight moves.
48 li A King which separates from a piece must move away as a King moves.
49p The compound piece is replaced by the component which doesn't move away.

58 The object is to checkmate your opponent's current royal piece, which may
59 be a King, Pontiff, Dragon King, or Cavalier King.
60
61p.
62 No royal piece may move through check when moving more than one space.
63 For the Cavalier King, the Knight move is understood as beginning
64 orthogonally and turning diagonally or vice versa. If both spaces
65 it might pass over to reach a square are checked, it cannot move there.
66 However, this does not limit its ability to check or attack a piece.
