11 At the very first move, players may decide to swap positions of adjacent
12 knights and bishops. Either on both sides, or on one only. To bypass this
13 step (or end it after a first swap), move your king to the opponent's king.

21 Known pieces move as usual, with one exception: the pawn only promotes
22 to a queen (named "Gilding" in this game). Additionally, all pieces can
23 promote — except queen and king:
24 ul
25 li Rook promotes into Dragon = Rook + King.
26 li Knight promotes into Scepter = Knight + King.
27 li Bishop promotes into Horse = Bishop + King.
28 li Cardinal promotes into Queen (called "Whole" here).
29 li Marshal promotes into Queen (called "Apricot" here).
30 p.
31 All these promotions are optional. They are available after a move ending
32 at or starting from the last rank.

34 p.
35 Each captured piece is first returned to its unpromoted version (if
36 applicable), and then added to a reserve. It can be dropped later
37 in place of a move.

42 Pawns can initially advance three squares.
43 On the third rank, they can still advance two squares.
44 A dropped pawn cannot give checkmate.

47 While castling, the king moves three squares lateraly.
48 Castling is possible even if the king or the rooks moved.
49 However, it can only be done once.

51 p.
52 If after a move both kings are facing each other (on a rank or file)
53 without intervening pieces, then the player who made the move loses.
