  11   | The pawns, queen, rook, inverted rook and knights are respectively called
  12   | Pincers, Withdrawer, Coordinator, Immobilizer and Long Leapers. They behave
  13   | exactly as in Baroque chess - so I won't describe them here, please read
  14   | the

  19   The bishop is a Chameleon, which capture pieces in the way themselves would
  20   capture. Its captures are thus the same as in Baroque chess, with a few
  21   exceptions: it captures the King and the Mage only when standing
  22   on an adjacent square.

  27   | The inverted queen is a Mage, moving one square diagonally and then
  28   | potentially several squares orthogonally as the figure
  29   | shows. It captures by replacement. See

  42   The piece looking like a king without a cross moves and captures like a
  43   regular king, but has no royal status. It is called a Guard in this game.
  44
  45 p.
  46   Finally, the king moves like an orthodox knight with an extra ability:
  47   he evolves on a cylindrical board. That means he can potentially move to the
  48   columns 'a' or 'b' from the columns 'g' or 'h' (and vice versa).
  49   He also capture by replacement.
