+ Indeed, before the game start you must select two armies, defining
+ new movements for "rooks", "knights", "bishops" and "queens".
+
+p Pieces movements are described using these simple pieces:
ul
- li Rook = bishop + dabbabah (D),
- li Knight = wazir + alfil = "phoenix" (H),
- li Bishop = ferz + alfil + dabbabah (A),
- li Queen = bishop + knight = "princess" (S).
+ li Dabbabah = jump two squares orthogonally
+ li Alfil = jump two squares diagonally
+ li Wazir = one square orthogonally
+ li Ferz = one square diagonally
+ li Three leaper (L3) = jump three squares orthogonally
+ li Narrow knight = knight without "2+1 lateral moves"
+
+p Pawns can be promoted into a piece of any of the two armies playing.

p.
- The Ferz and Wazir move respectively like a single-step bishop, and
- single-step rook. The Alfil and Dabbabah move respectively like a
- double-step bishop and a double-step rook. They can both leap over a piece.
+ When castling large, the king and rook arrive respectively on
+ b1/b8 and c1/c8 so that the rook remains on the same color.
