| 10 | <h1>Different Armies Rules</h1> |
| 11 | |
| 12 | <div> |
| 13 | <p>White and black pieces are replaced by different armies.</p> |
| 14 | <p> |
| 15 | Pawns and kings move as usual, but the other pieces generally do not. |
| 16 | Indeed, before the game start you must select two armies, defining |
| 17 | new movements for "rooks", "knights", "bishops" and "queens". |
| 18 | </p> |
| 19 | <p>Pieces movements are described using these simple pieces:</p> |
| 20 | <ul> |
| 21 | <li>Dabbabah = jump two squares orthogonally</li> |
| 22 | <li>Alfil = jump two squares diagonally</li> |
| 23 | <li>Wazir = one square orthogonally</li> |
| 24 | <li>Ferz = one square diagonally</li> |
| 25 | <li>Three leaper (L3) = jump three squares orthogonally</li> |
| 26 | <li>Narrow knight = knight without "2+1 lateral moves"</li> |
| 27 | </ul> |
| 28 | <p>Pawns can be promoted into a piece of any of the two armies playing.</p> |
| 29 | </div> |
