64 During the game one of the two players can decide to take control of the
65 checkered pieces.
66 They thus become autonomous and vulnerable to being captured - stage 2 begins.
67 The other player is in charge of both the white and black pieces, and tries to
68 eliminate checkered pieces.
69 The checkered side wins by checkmating either the white or black king.

74 at any moment.
