6 Two new pieces appear on the board, which is extended to 10x11 squares:
7 a camel and a wildebeest, respectively written C and W.
8 A camel moves as a knight but with a
9 longer jump: 3 squares in one direction, and 1 left or right after that.
10 The wildebeest combines the moving abilities of a camel and a knight.

22 Castling is possible, and more flexible than in orthodox game:
23 the king can slide any number of (free) squares toward the rook,
24 which will end next to him on the other side.

26 p.
27 When a pawn reaches the last rank, it promotes into a queen or a
28 wildebeest (only). Promotion is also possible (optionally) on 9th rank.
29 This is an experimental addition to the official rules.
