| 17 | | Instead of a normal move, a piece may be exchanged with an adjacent friendly one. |
| 18 | | Switching can move pawns until rank 1 or final rank. In the first case a 2-squares, |
| 19 | | jump is possible, and in the second a promotion occurs. |
| 20 | | Switching must involves two different units. |
| 21 | | Switching while the king is under check is not allowed. |

| 24 | Note: if the king and rook are on two adjacent squares, castling and switching |
| 25 | from the king are triggered in the same way. Castling takes priority: |
| 26 | if you wanna switch, use the rook. |
