	| 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,

	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.

h3 End of the game

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

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