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

  33     Promotion is mandatory for a pawn reaching the last rank. However, they can only
  34     promote into a friendly piece captured (which is back on the board). If none is
  35     available, the promotion on last rank is impossible and the pawn cannot move.
  36
  37 p Pawn promotion is possible (but not forced) on the two ranks before last.
