19 | Castling is possible as in orthodox 8x8 game. The white king move to c1 or i1 |
20 | (one square to the left of bottom-right corner) for large (resp. small) castle. | |
21 | Same for black on the other side. | |

24 | Promotion is mandatory for a pawn reaching the last rank. However, they can only |
25 | promote into a friendly piece captured (which is back on the board). If none is | |
26 | available, the promotion on last rank is impossible and the pawn cannot move | |
27 | (but still gives check). | |

34 | Note: I changed the author's starting position, to increase randomness |
35 | (and uniformize with other variants). | |
36 | Thus the castling rule was introduced compared to the rules described | |
37 | on chessvariants.com. | |
