  15   From white perspective, the material is unusual but the goal is the same as
  16   in orthodox chess. Since there is no white king, black wins by capturing all
  17   white pieces.

  20   There is no castling, but en-passant captures may be executed after each two
  21   squares pawn move, either from the first or second rank.
