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". | |
8 | ||
9 | p Pieces movements are described using these simple pieces: | |
801e2870 | 10 | ul |
4313762d BA |
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" | |
17 | ||
18 | p Pawns can be promoted into a piece of any of the two armies playing. | |
