19 Castling is possible as in orthodox 8x8 game. The white king move to c1 or i1
20 (one square to the left of bottom-right corner) for large (resp. small) castle.
21 Same for black on the other side.

24 Promotion is mandatory for a pawn reaching the last rank. However, they can only
25 promote into a friendly piece captured (which is back on the board). If none is
26 available, the promotion on last rank is impossible and the pawn cannot move
27 (but still gives check).

34 Note: I changed the author's starting position, to increase randomness
35 (and uniformize with other variants).
36 Thus the castling rule was introduced compared to the rules described
37 on chessvariants.com.
