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

p.
	Notation: a switch move is marked by the capital letter 'S' followed by

	from the king are triggered in the same way. Castling takes priority:
	if you wanna switch, use the rook.
