  54     During the game one of the two players can decide to take control of the checkered pieces.
  55     They thus become autonomous and vulnerable to being captured - stage 2 begins.
  56     The other player is in charge of both the white and black pieces, and tries to eliminate checkered pieces.
  57     The checkered side wins by checkmating either the white or black king.
