+
+p.
+  Shinobi Chess is a chess variant designed in 2021 by Couch Tomato.
+  The chess army (the "Kingdom", black) has invaded the land of the Sakura
+  Clan ("pink"). While initially unprepared and having very few pieces
+  available, the Clan is very resourceful and can instantly recruit and
+  summon allies to defend at a minute's notice!
+
+p.
+  The Clan starts with almost all of its pieces in hand, and can drop them
+  on its side of the board (first 4 ranks) in lieu of moving a piece.
+
+p
+  | In addition to checkmate,
+  | one can win by bringing the king into the final rank ("campmate").
+  br
+  | Stalemate and repetition are both losses.
+
+h3 New pieces
+
+p.
+  There are five new units unique to the Clan: Ninja, Samurai, Lances,
+  (Wooden) Horses, and Monks. Captains are a new piece available to both
+  sides, but only the Clan starts with one on the board.
+  Ninja, Samurai, and Captains do not promote (see below).
+
+p.
+  The Clan's king is called a Kage (K) and has a different symbol, but the
+  change is purely aesthetic and thematic: it behaves like an orthodox King.
+
+ul
+  li Captain (C) – Moves like a King. Pawns promote to a Captain.
+  li Ninja (J) = Knight + Bishop.
+  li Samurai (S) = Knight + Rook.
+  li Monk (M) – One-step bishop.
+  li.
+    Horse (H) – Moves only forward two squares,
+    and then one square to the side.
+  li Lance (L) – Moves only forward, like a unidirectional rook.
+
+p.
+  Clan minor pieces are considerably weak. However, with a little
+  resourcefulness, they can trap the stronger Kingdom pieces
+  and even win the battle.
+
+h3 Promotion
+
+p.
+  Pawns promote into Captains when reaching the 6th rank.
+  All minor Clan pieces also promote upon reaching the 6th rank (or beyond):
+ul
+  li Monk into Bishop.
+  li Horse into Knight.
+  li Lance into Rook.
+
+p
+  | Clan Rooks and Bishops look different, but the changes are purely
+  | aesthetic. Note that the symbol on the Bishop is a 
+  a(href="https://handwiki.org/wiki/Sauwastika") sauwastika
+  | , not a swastika.
