| 18 | | Orthodox rules apply, with only one change: | |
| da06a6eb BA |
19 | | every time a piece is captured, the capturer "reserve" of waiting pieces is |
| 20 | | augmented with this figure. At every move, you may choose to land one of your | |
| b41d5704 | 21 | | reserve pieces anywhere on the board (except first and last ranks for pawns), |
| 1221ac47 BA |
22 | | instead of playing a regular move. |

| 25 | Move notation: an arobase '@' indicate piece landing. For example B@d4 means | |
| 26 | a bishop rebirth on d4 square, and @f3 is a pawn landing on f3. | |

| b41d5704 | 34 | Note: capturing a promoted pawn put a pawn in the reserve, |
| 1221ac47 BA |
35 | not the promoted piece. This is to allow to gain material on last rank without |
| 36 | fear of giving a queen to the opponent. | |
