2 | Moves are potentially played in two times: move a piece, | |
3 | and / or push or pull something with that unit. | |

56ace7c4 | 6 | Pieces have the same movement as in orthodox chess, but they cannot |

7 | take other pieces in the usual way. Instead of the normal captures, pieces |
8 | can pull or push other pieces, potentially off the board. | |
9 | The goal is to send the enemy king off the board. | |

11 | p Each turn, a player has the following options: | |
12 | ul | |
13 | li. | |
14 | Move one of his pieces normally, then optionally pull something as an | |
15 | effect of this move. | |
16 | li. | |
17 | Push any piece with one of his pieces, then optionally follow the pushed | |
18 | piece. | |

32 | The e2 pawn can move to e3 and e4 as usual. It can also slide diagonally, | |
33 | being pushed by the bishop or the queen (which may or may not move along | |
34 | this line afterward). It can also go to c3, being pushed by the knight from | |
35 | g1; then the knight can move to e2, or stay motionless. | |
36 | Finally, the pawn can "take the king": this is a special move indicating that | |
37 | you want it to exit the board. Indeed it could be pushed off the board by the | |
38 | bishop or the queen. | |

41 | Note: if you don't want to play a second part in a move, just click on any | |
42 | empty square: this will replace the second part by an empty move. | |

70 | Note: castling is possible as long as the king and rook have not moved and | |
71 | haven't been pushed or pulled (this differs from the chessvariants | |

77 | The game ends when a push or pull action threatens to send the king off the | |
78 | board, and he has no way to escape it. | |

86 | The king cannot "take" on g4: this would just push the queen one step to the | |
87 | left, and she would then push the king beyond the 'h' file. | |
88 | There are no en-passant captures. | |
