  figcaption Initial deterministic position

p
  | The pawns, queen, rook, inverted rook and knights are respectively called
  | Pincers, Withdrawer, Coordinator, Immobilizer and Long Leapers. They behave
  | exactly as in Baroque chess - so I won't describe them here, please read
  | the 
  a(href="/#/variants/Baroque") Baroque rules
  | .

p.
  The bishop is a Chameleon, which capture pieces in the way themselves would
  capture. Its captures are thus the same as in Baroque chess, with a few
  exceptions: it captures the King and the Mage only when standing
  on an adjacent square.

h3 New pieces, new movements

p
  | The inverted queen is a Mage, moving one square diagonally and then
  | potentially several squares orthogonally as the figure
  | shows. It captures by replacement. See 
  a(href="https://www.chessvariants.com/piececlopedia.dir/griffon.html")
    | this page
  |  for a detailed introduction to this piece.

p In this game the Mage is the only piece which cannot be immobilized.

p.
  The piece looking like a king without a cross moves and captures like a
  regular king, but has no royal status. It is called a Guard in this game.

p.
  Finally, the king moves like an orthodox knight with an extra ability:
  he evolves on a cylindrical board. That means he can potentially move to the
  columns 'a' or 'b' from the columns 'g' or 'h' (and vice versa).
  He also capture by replacement.

h3 End of the game

p.
  A stalemate is a draw, and a checkmate wins.
  There are two other options to win a game:
ul
  li.
    Occupy both squares "of the enemy palace" (the two squares of the last
    rank), or
  li Capture all opponent' pieces (except the king).
p.
  You can have one piece in your own palace, but it's forbidden to fully
  occupy it.
