  18     | Orthodox rules apply, with only one change:
  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
  21     | reserve pieces anywhere on the board (except last rank for pawns),
  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.

  34     Note: when a promoted pawn is captured, capturing it put a pawn in the reserve,
  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.
