p.boxed | In addition to standard moves, a piece can be exchanged | with an adjacent friendly unit. h3 Specifications ul li Chessboard: standard. li Material: standard. li Non-capturing moves: standard + switch. li Special moves: standard. li Captures: standard. li End of game: standard. h3 Basics p. Instead of a normal move, a piece may be exchanged with an adjacent friendly one. Switching can move pawns until rank 1 or final rank. In the first case a 2-squares jump is possible, and in the second a promotion occurs. Switching must involves two different units. Switching while the king is under check is not allowed. p. Notation: a switch move is marked by the capital letter 'S' followed by the exchanged squares. Example in diagram: Sb8c8 figure.diagram-container .diagram | fen:1RB3k1/5ppp/8/8/8/8/8/K7: figcaption White can mate in 1 by switching b8-c8 p. Note: if the king and rook are on two adjacent squares, castling and switching from the king are triggered in the same way. Castling takes priority: if you wanna switch, use the rook. h3 Source p a(href="https://www.chessvariants.com/diffmove.dir/switching.html") Switching chess | on chessvariants.com.
