p.boxed | Two new pieces are introduced out of seven available. p | Musketeer Chess was invented by Zied Haddad in 2011. | You can read the rules of this game and order fairy pieces sets on the a(href="https://musketeerchess.net/home/index.html") official website | . The corresponding a(href="https://www.jocly.com/#/games") playing area |  allows to play (really) many games, with nice 3-D pieces. It seems | that for now you can only play against a AI, but this will change. figure.showPieces.text-center img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/wd.svg") img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/ww.svg") img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/wx.svg") img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/we.svg") img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/wh.svg") img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/wf.svg") img(src="/images/pieces/Musketeer/wy.svg") figcaption New pieces for Musketeer Chess. h3 Rules summary p. At the very first turn of the game, White must choose a piece which will be later introduced into play. Play this move from the reserve below the board to any free square. Then, Black must do the same with another of the remaining pieces. p. At the second move, White brings the first chosen piece (still from the reserve) to any location on its first rank. Then Black do the same for this first piece, and on the third turn a location for the second selected piece is decided. p. The game now proceeds normally, following orthodox chess rules. However, when a piece where you placed an extra figure is moved for the first time, the new piece comes into play on the starting square — as in Seirawan Chess. figure.diagram-container .diagram.diag12 | fen:rnbs2or/ppp2ppp/3bp3/3pN3/k2P3P/6P1/PPP1PP2/RMBQKC1R: .diagram.diag22 | fen:rnbs2or/ppp2ppp/3bp3/3pN3/k2P3P/2N3P1/PPP1PP2/RXBQKC1R: figcaption Before and after Nc3, a Unicorn appears on b1: double check. h3 New pieces movements p | They are detailed for example on the a(href="https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/musketeer-chess") | chessvariants page | , but let's sum up their behavior here as well. | "Bishop[X]" indicates a piece moving like a limited range Bishop, | restricted to X squares in any diagonal direction. ul li Leopard (L) = Knight + Bishop[2] li Cannon (C) = King + Wide Knight + Dabbabah li Unicorn (U) = Knight + Camel li Elephant (E) = King + Alfil + Dabbabh li Hawk (H) = Alfil + Tripper li Fortress (F) = Narrow Knight + Dabbabah + Bishop[3] li Spider (S) = Knight + Dabbabah + Bishop[2] p With ul li Alfil = two squares leaper in diagonal li Dabbabah = 2 squares leaper orthogonally li a(href="http://gambiter.com/chess/variants/Tripper_chess.html") Tripper |  = 3 squares leaper diagonally li.

Note: the Dragon, Chancellor and Archbishop were removed, because these pieces are already seen in several other variants, and, they are a bit too powerful — especially the Dragon.
