   5   The rules are essentially the same as orthodox chess, but with two new
   6   pieces, the elephant and cannon. Because of the 10x10 board, pawns promote
   7   at the 10th rank, into any piece.

  17   The elephant moves by one or two squares diagonally, potentially jumping
  18   over a piece. The cannon moves like a rook but captures by jumping first
  19   over an obstacle, as the diagram illustrates. After such a jump the cannon
  20   can only capture (no normal moves).
