| 56 | During the game one of the two players can decide to take control of the checkered pieces. | |
| 57 | They thus become autonomous and vulnerable to being captured - stage 2 begins. | |
| 58 | The other player is in charge of both the white and black pieces, and tries to eliminate checkered pieces. | |
| 59 | The checkered side wins by checkmating either the white or black king. | |
