11 | At the very first move, players may decide to swap positions of adjacent | |
12 | knights and bishops. Either on both sides, or on one only. To bypass this | |
13 | step (or end it after a first swap), move your king to the opponent's king. | |

21 | Known pieces move as usual, with one exception: the pawn only promotes | |
22 | to a queen (named "Gilding" in this game). Additionally, all pieces can | |
23 | promote — except queen and king: | |
24 | ul | |
25 | li Rook promotes into Dragon = Rook + King. | |
26 | li Knight promotes into Scepter = Knight + King. | |
27 | li Bishop promotes into Horse = Bishop + King. | |
28 | li Cardinal promotes into Queen (called "Whole" here). | |
29 | li Marshal promotes into Queen (called "Apricot" here). | |

31 | All these promotions are optional. They are available after a move ending | |
3b98a861 | 32 | at or starting from the last two ranks. |

35 | Each captured piece is first returned to its unpromoted version (if | |
36 | applicable), and then added to a reserve. It can be dropped later | |
37 | in place of a move. | |

49 | Threefold repetition is a draw, unless caused by a perpetual check. |
50 | In this case, the player giving check loses. | |
