h3 Basics

p.
  Every piece has a charge generating a magnetic field, except the two kings
  which have a neutral charge.
  Pieces of the same color have let's say a positive charge,
  while the others have a negative charge.
  After each move positive charges attract negative ones, and repel positive ones.

p.
  Remember that since kings have a neutral charge, any of their movement does not
  change anything on the board. They also block magnetic actions which go in
  their direction.

p Castling is possible, but no en-passant captures.

h3 End of the game

p Win by capturing opponent's king. There is no notion of check or stalemate here.

p Note: while castling, the changes are made by the rook movement.
