  14     Pieces move as usual, but they all hide a special "power"
  15     inspired by Mario Kart:
  16   </p>
  17   <ul>
  18     <li>
  19       The pawn (Toad) leaves a "turbo" mushroom on its initial square,
  20       or on the intermediate one in case of a two squares move.
  21     </li>
  22     <li>
  23       The knight (Yoshi) let a surprise egg on its initial square.
  24       See about egg effect below.
  25     </li>
  26     <li>
  27       The rook (Donkey) put a banana on a square diagonally adjacent to the
  28       arrival one, at random, if possible.
  29     </li>
  30     <li>
  31       The bishop (Wario) put a bomb on a square orthogonally adjacent to the
  32       arrival one, at random, if possible.
  33     </li>
  34     <li>
  35       The queen (Mario) can play a stealth move once in the game:
  36       the opponent will only know that a queen moved - to an empty square.
  37       A promoted queen also has this power if not already used.
  38     </li>
  39     <li>
  40       The king (Peach) can "throw a shell" on an enemy reachable by a queen,
  41       once in the game. A promoted king also has this power, if not already
  42       used. The capture is done remotely without moving.
  43     </li>
  44   </ul>
  45   <p>The king cannot castle, and pawns don't capture en passant.</p>

  55   <p>
  56     So the goal is to capture Peach :) If pawns promoted into king, then all
  57     of them must be captured. Since it still looked too easy, the 4 mentioned
  58     objects alter the move played, generally at random:
  59   </p>
  60   <ul>
  61     <li>
  62       A king or a pawn arriving on a mushroom advance one square further,
  63       while a knight jump another time in the same direction, if possible.
  64       Pawns can "eat" objects diagonally too.
  65       Mushrooms have no effect on sliders (queen, rook, bishop).
  66     </li>
  67     <li>
  68       A piece arriving on a banana (resp. bomb) is redirected at random by one
  69       square in an orthogonal (resp. diagonal) direction. If a piece (of any
  70       color!) stands on that square, then it is captured.
  71     </li>
  72     <li>
  73       The effects can cumulate, as illustrated on the diagram: the pawn
  74       "captures" the banana on e4, and is then redirected toward e5: mushroom,
  75       it jumps to the next square, which sends it on d5 eating the white rook.
  76       (We can imagine that the hope was to eat the black knight instead).
  77       A piece may ends on its initial square, move back, and so on. That being
  78       said, a given object can only be used once on the path.
  79     </li>
  80   </ul>

  93   <p>
  94     The egg case is more complex: a move ending on an egg triggers an effect
  95     chosen at random, positive or negative. There are four bonus and four
  96     penalties. They are introduced in a dual form: first the positive, then
  97     the negative.
  98   </p>
  99   <ul>
 100     <li>
 101       King Boo (*B) let you exchange the position of any pair of pieces on the
 102       board.
 103     </li>
 104     <li>Koopa (*K) drives the piece back onto its initial square.</li>
 105     <li>
 106       Toadette (*T) allows to place a new &mdash; random &mdash; piece on the
 107       board. If the piece is dropped on an egg, banana or bomb, its effects
 108       are applied.
 109     </li>
 110     <li>
 111       Chomp (*C) eats the piece, which is thus captured. If it's Peach, then
 112       bad luck, game over :)
 113     </li>
 114     <li>Daisy (*D) allows to play again with any of your pieces.</li>
 115     <li>
 116       Bowser (*M) immobilizes the piece (which is surrounded by a light green
 117       halo). It won't be allowed to move on the next turn.
 118     </li>
 119     <li>Luigi (*L) changes the color of a random enemy piece.</li>
 120     <li>Waluigi (*W) changes the color of one of your pieces (at random).</li>
