  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
  38 p Pawn promotion is possible (but not forced) on the two ranks before last.

  45     Note: I changed the author's starting position, to facilitate random start.
  46     Thus the castling rule was introduced compared to the rules described
  47     on chessvariants.com.
