11 | The pawns, queen, rook, inverted rook and knights are respectively called
12 | Pincers, Withdrawer, Coordinator, Immobilizer and Long Leapers. They behave
13 | exactly as in Baroque chess - so I won't describe them here, please read

19 The bishop is a Chameleon, which capture pieces in the way themselves would
20 capture. Its captures are thus the same as in Baroque chess, with a few
21 exceptions: it captures the King and the Mage only when standing
22 on an adjacent square.

27 | The inverted queen is a Mage, moving one square diagonally and then
28 | potentially several squares orthogonally as the figure
29 | shows. It captures by replacement. See

42 The piece looking like a king without a cross moves and captures like a
43 regular king, but has no royal status. It is called a Guard in this game.
44
45 p.
46 Finally, the king moves like an orthodox knight with an extra ability:
47 he evolves on a cylindrical board. That means he can potentially move to the
48 columns 'a' or 'b' from the columns 'g' or 'h' (and vice versa).
49 He also capture by replacement.
