32 | The initial setup contains only the pawns. | |
33 | Indeed, at the first move you can arrange the pieces as you wish behind the | |
34 | pawns line. You must place every one of them, with rooks on the first rank. | |

39 | The general moves by one square in any diagonal direction. | |
40 | The elephant moves one square forward, or like a general. | |
41 | All other pieces move as in orthodox chess. | |

51 | A pawn can promote when, at the beginning of a turn, it is placed on any of | |
52 | the marked squares (from a player point of view). | |
53 | You can either promote on a diagonally adjacent square (if it is empty), | |
54 | or in place: this last option is obtained in the interface by "moving" one | |
55 | square backward. | |
56 | If you only have one pawn remaining, it can promote from any square. | |
57 | Promotion is always in a general, and you can have only one general on the | |
58 | board. | |

59 | The promoted general cannot attack any opponent's piece, nor can he discover |
60 | a rook attack on the enemy king. | |
