9 <h1>Different Armies Rules
</h1>
12 <p>White and black pieces are replaced by different armies.
</p>
14 Pawns and kings move as usual, but the other pieces generally do not.
15 Indeed, before the game start you must select two armies, defining
16 new movements for "rooks", "knights", "bishops" and "queens".
18 <p>Pieces movements are described using these simple pieces:
</p>
20 <li>Dabbabah = jump two squares orthogonally
</li>
21 <li>Alfil = jump two squares diagonally
</li>
22 <li>Wazir = one square orthogonally
</li>
23 <li>Ferz = one square diagonally
</li>
24 <li>Three leaper (L3) = jump three squares orthogonally
</li>
25 <li>Narrow knight = knight without "
2+
1 lateral moves"
</li>
27 <p>Pawns can be promoted into a piece of any of the two armies playing.
</p>
