2 | | You have a king and an antiking. King cannot be let in check, but antiking |
3 | | must always stay under check. Antiking captures his own kind. | |

18 | The additional piece is a royal figure, thus cannot be captured. | |
19 | It captures the pieces of his color (to help checkmate opponent antiking, | |
20 | but by doing so it also make standard checkmate more difficult...). | |
21 | It should always remains under check (if it cannot, game is over). | |

31 | ol | |
32 | li Checkmate opponent king | |
33 | li Anti-checkmate opponent antiking | |
34 | p ...Or maybe do both at the same time? | |

37 | Note 1: athough antiking captures his color, it doesn't check his king - | |
38 | it doesn't check the opponent's king either. | |

41 | Note 2: since it would allow a basic tactic (keep antiking touching opponent's | |
42 | king), kings do not attack antikings. | |
