  28 p.
  29     Castling is possible as in orthodox 8x8 game. The white king move to c1 or i1
  30     (one square to the left of bottom-right corner) for large (resp. small) castle.
  31     Same for black on the other side.

  34     Promotion is mandatory for a pawn reaching the last rank. However, they can only
  35     promote into a friendly piece captured (which is back on the board). If none is
  36     available, the promotion on last rank is impossible and the pawn cannot move
  37     (but still gives check).
  38
  39 p.
  40     Pawn promotion is possible (but not forced) on the two ranks before last,
  41     only in an already captured (friendly) piece.

  43 h3 End of the game

  48     Note: I changed the author's starting position, to increase randomness
  49     (and uniformize with other variants).
  50     Thus the castling rule was introduced compared to the rules described
  51     on chessvariants.com.
