| 6 | Every piece has a charge generating a magnetic field, except the two kings |
| 7 | which have a neutral charge. Pieces of the same color have let's say a |
| 8 | positive charge, while the others have a negative charge. After each move |
| 9 | positive charges attract negative ones, and repel positive ones. |
