+p.
+  Synochess is a chess variant designed in 2020 by Couch Tomato.
+  The idea of the game was to create a variant where the western chess army
+  can fight against the xiangqi or Chinese chess army in a fair manner.
+  In this game, the white army represents the western chess side and is
+  called the Kingdom, while the black army represents an amalgamation of
+  xiangqi and janggi (Korean chess) and is called the Dynasty.
+
+p.
+  The name Synochess is based off an earlier name, Sinochess, but it was
+  changed as the Dynasty became less "Sino" (as in Chinese) and more a
+  mixture of Chinese and Korean. Instead, the prefix syn- means together,
+  and the game represents two different historic branches of chess coming
+  together into one.
+
+ul
+  li The Kingdom (white) always moves first.
+  li The Dynasty (black) cannot castle.
+  li.
+    Kingdom pawns can only promote to their own pieces (queen, rook, knight,
+    bishop). Dynasty soldiers do not promote.
+
+h3 Special Rules
+
+ul
+  li.
+    King Faceoff — As in Xiangqi, Kings may not face each other
+    (on a file or rank) without intervening pieces.
+  li.
+    Reinforcement Soldiers — Black starts with two soldiers in hand.
+    Instead of moving a piece on the board, the Dynasty player can drop a
+    soldier onto an open square in rank 5 (Dynasty's 4th rank).
+  li.
+    Campmate — A king that reaches the final rank (without moving
+    into check) wins the game.
+  li.
+    Stalemate — As in Xiangqi, stalemates
+    and moves repetitions are a loss.
+
+h3 Dynasty Pieces
+
+p.
+  There are four new units unique to the Dynasty: 6 Soldiers (2 start in
+  hand), 2 Cannons, 2 Elephants, and 1 Advisor.
+p.
+  The Chariots are equal to the Rooks and use the same abbreviation (R)
+  — the difference is purely cosmetic. Similarly, the Kings are the
+  same, but just appear different.
+
+p.
+  Details and diagrams of each piece are below.
