p.boxed
  | Two new pieces: camel and wildebeest. Bigger board.
  | Orthodox rules with a few adaptations.

p.
  Two new pieces appear on the board, which is extended to 10x11 squares:
  a camel and a wildebeest, respectively written C and W.
  A camel moves as a knight but with a
  longer jump: 3 squares in one direction, and 1 left or right after that.
  The wildebeest combines the moving abilities of a camel and a knight.

p You can win by checkmating or stalemating the enemy king.

h3 Special moves

p.
  Castling is possible, and more flexible than in orthodox game:
  the king can slide any number of (free) squares toward the rook,
  which will end next to him on the other side.

p.
  When a pawn reaches the last rank, it promotes into a queen or a
  wildebeest (only). Promotion is also possible (optionally) on 9th rank.
  This is an experimental addition to the official rules.
