18 | | The additional piece is a royal figure, thus cannot be captured. | |
19 | | It captures the pieces of his color (to help checkmate opponent antiking, but by doing so it also make standard checkmate more difficult...). | |
20 | | It should always remains under check (if it cannot, game is over). | |

29 | p There are two ways to win: | |
30 | ol | |
31 | li Checkmate opponent king | |
32 | li Anti-checkmate opponent antiking | |
33 | p ...Or maybe do both at the same time? | |
34 | ||
35 | p Note 1: athough antiking captures his color, it doesn't check his king. | |
36 | ||
37 | p Note 2: since it would allow a basic tactic (keep antiking touching opponent's king), kings do not attack antikings. | |

39 | p Note 3: an antiking does not check opponent's antiking. |
