Then, it's only allowed to move + to a vacant square according to our piece's type. + li. + Case 2: A is a standard piece. + It can then be moved anywhere but on our own (normal) pieces. + "Capturing" an enemy piece creates an union composed of both pieces. + "Capturing" an union releases our piece formerly in union, + which has to be moved immediately by the same player. It can in turn + release another piece, thus following a chain of unions. + +p + | This may appear confusing at first reading, but is simpler than it seems. + | See for example this + a(href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ2JLsFvfxI") gameplay video + | , or another one from the same YouTube channel. + +figure.diagram-container + .diagram.diag12 + | fen:4k3/8/2q5/8/4O3/2w2B2/8/5K2: + .diagram.diag22 + | fen:4k3/8/2Y5/8/4s3/2S5/8/5K2: + figcaption Before and after the chaining move Bxe4, Ne4xc3, Qc3xc6. + +h3 Special moves, additional notes + +p. + "Capturing" an union en passant releases our dancing piece from the + intermediate square. + +p Promotion occur when any pawn (in union or not) reaches its final rank. + +p. + Attacks on the king are ignored in this implementation: you can run + or remain into "check".
