45 Note: en-passant and castle occur as they do in the standard game.
46 More specifically, en-passant is possible regardless of the worlds pawns are in.
47 This is justified because pawns "go through the mirror" while moving, and can
48 thus be captured either right after or just before they pass the mirror.
49 Castling should be legal according to orthodox rules on the board 1 (it cannot
50 occur on board 2, because it would mean king and rook moved). Moreover, the
51 king cannot be in check on board 2 after castling.
