   8 p.
   9   A non-royal simple piece (Knight, Bishop, or Rook) may combine with
  10   another simple piece on the same side (including a King) by moving
  11   onto its square.
  12
  13 p The combined piece moves as either of the two pieces just combined:
  14 ul
  15   li King + Bishop = Pontiff
  16   li King + Rook = Dragon King
  17   li King + Knight = Cavalier King
  18   li Bishop + Rook = Queen
  19   li Bishop + Knight = Paladin
  20   li Rook + Knight = Marshall
  21

  23 ul
  24   li another piece of the same type,
  25   li a piece belonging to the opponent,
  26   li a compound piece.

  40
  41 p.
  42   An unattacked compound piece may split by moving one
  43   of its components, under its own powers of movement, to an empty square.
  44 ul
  45   li A Rook which separates from a piece must move away as a Rook moves.
  46   li A Bishop which separates from a piece must move away as a Bishop moves.
  47   li A Knight which separates from a piece must move away as a Knight moves.
  48   li A King which separates from a piece must move away as a King moves.
  49 p The compound piece is replaced by the component which doesn't move away.

  51 h3 Other details
  52
  53 p Any piece that has participated in fission or fusion may no longer castle.
  54
  55 p Pawns may promote to Rook, Bishop, or Knight only.
  56
  57 p.
  58   The object is to checkmate your opponent's current royal piece, which may
  59   be a King, Pontiff, Dragon King, or Cavalier King.
  60
  61 p.
  62   No royal piece may move through check when moving more than one space.
  63   For the Cavalier King, the Knight move is understood as beginning
  64   orthogonally and turning diagonally or vice versa. If both spaces
  65   it might pass over to reach a square are checked, it cannot move there.
  66   However, this does not limit its ability to check or attack a piece.
