| 11 | At the very first move, players may decide to swap positions of adjacent | |
| 12 | knights and bishops. Either on both sides, or on one only. To bypass this | |
| 13 | step (or end it after a first swap), move your king to the opponent's king. | |

| 21 | Known pieces move as usual, with one exception: the pawn only promotes | |
| 22 | to a queen (named "Gilding" in this game). Additionally, all pieces can | |
| 23 | promote — except queen and king: | |
| 24 | ul | |
| 25 | li Rook promotes into Dragon = Rook + King. | |
| 26 | li Knight promotes into Scepter = Knight + King. | |
| 27 | li Bishop promotes into Horse = Bishop + King. | |
| 28 | li Cardinal promotes into Queen (called "Whole" here). | |
| 29 | li Marshal promotes into Queen (called "Apricot" here). | |
| 30 | p. | |
| 31 | All these promotions are optional. They are available after a move ending | |
| 32 | at or starting from the last rank. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | p. | |
| 35 | Each captured piece is first returned to its unpromoted version (if | |
| 36 | applicable), and then added to a reserve. It can be dropped later | |
| 37 | in place of a move. | |

| 39 | h3 Some details | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | p. | |
| 42 | Pawns can initially advance three squares. | |
| 43 | On the third rank, they can still advance two squares. | |
| 44 | A dropped pawn cannot give checkmate. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | p. | |
| 47 | While castling, the king moves three squares lateraly. | |
| 48 | Castling is possible even if the king or the rooks moved. | |
| 49 | However, it can only be done once. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | p. | |
| 52 | If after a move both kings are facing each other (on a rank or file) | |
| 53 | without intervening pieces, then the player who made the move loses. | |
