As in Chess the goal is to Checkmate the opponent. Stalemate is a draw.

Rules of movement and capturing figures

[edit]

King (Shah) moves and captures like a king in traditional chess - one square from the current position in all directions. It can not move to the position of check. Throughout the game one time, the King can do a special move of the king - can move with the movements of the Knight of traditional chess. The king's special move can not be used to checkmate the enemy king.

Queen (Counselor) moves in and captures like a captain in traditional chess.

Bishop (Elephant - Bishop-Knight) moves in and captures like a runner in traditional chess. In addition, moves and captures like a knight in traditional chess.

Knight (Chariot - Knight-Rook) moves in and captures like a knight in traditional chess. In addition, moves and captures like a tower in traditional chess.

Rook (Ram - Rook-King) moves in and captures like a rook in traditional chess. In addition, moves and captures as well as in traditional chess king (except for the rules of castling, checking and checkmating), that have the extra movement and the capturing of one square diagonally.

Pawn (Infantry) moves in and captures like a pawn in traditional chess.

In the game there are castling, en passant and promotion of pawns.
