h2.stageDelimiter Stage 1

h3 Basics

ol
	li Each capture produces a new piece, taking on nature of the capturing or captured one.
	li The new piece arising from a capture has a new color: "checkered", as illustrated above.
	li All checkered pieces belong to the player in turn and can capture the opponents pieces.

span Remarks:
ul
	li A checkered move cannot be "undone" right after if this repeat the position.
	li Checkered chess pieces cannot be captured.

		Black plays Rxh4=P. (Checkered pawn to) h5 is allowed then, because piece's nature changed.

h3 Pawn moves

ul
	li A pawn captured on its starting square keeps the right to advance two squares.
	li Checkered pawns cannot capture en passant.

h2.stageDelimiter Stage 2

p.warn This stage is not (and probably will never be) implemented.

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

h4 Variant of stage 2
p.
	An observer could decide to join the game by taking the checkered pieces at any moment.
	It then becomes a chess game with three players, with some subtelties to be resolved.
	It was tested in some (real life) games organised by the variant creator.

h3 Special moves

span Checkered pawns can...
ul
	li move and capture in either direction;
	li take en passant,
	li be promoted on either the first or eighth row.
