   5   | Musketeer Chess was invented by Zied Haddad in 2011.
   6   | You can read the rules of this game and order fairy pieces sets on the
   7   a(href="https://musketeerchess.net/home/index.html") official website
   8   | . The corresponding
   9   a(href="https://www.jocly.com/#/games") playing area
  10   | &nbsp;allows to play (really) many games, with nice 3-D pieces. It seems
  11   | that for now you can only play against a AI, but this will change.

  25 p.
  26   At the very first turn of the game, White must choose a piece which will
  27   be later introduced into play.
  28   Play this move from the reserve below the board to any free square.
  29   Then, Black must do the same with another of the remaining pieces.
  30
  31 p.
  32   At the second move, White brings the first chosen piece (still from the
  33   reserve) to any location on its first rank.
  34   Then Black do the same for this first piece,
  35   and on the third turn a location for the second selected piece is decided.
  36
  37 p.
  38   The game now proceeds normally, following orthodox chess rules.
  39   However, when a piece where you placed an extra figure is moved for the
  40   first time, the new piece comes into play on the starting square &mdash;
  41   as in Seirawan Chess.

  89   Note: the Dragon, Chancellor and Archbishop were removed, because these
  90   pieces are already seen in several other variants, and, they are a bit
  91   too powerful &mdash; especially the Dragon.
