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