| 18 | | Every piece has a charge generating a magnetic field, except the two kings |
| 19 | | which have a neutral charge. |
| 20 | | Pieces of the same color have let's say a positive charge, |
| 21 | | while the others have a negative charge. |
| 22 | | So, after each move some pieces are attracted while others are repelled. |

| 32 | Remember that since kings have a neutral charge, any of their movement does not |
| 33 | change anything on the board. They also block magnetic actions which go in |
| 34 | their direction. |
