Rule Reference
-The basic movement for each piece is the same as traditional chess.
-Pieces are never removed from the board. Instead, the capturing piece shares the square with the captured piece, and the two pieces become a joined pair.
-When either piece moves from a square containing two pieces, the other piece moves with it. - Each player can only move a joined pair according to the rules for their own piece. Joined pieces cannot capture other pieces.
-A free (non-joined) piece may move into a square occupied by pieces of both colors. - When it does, the other piece of the same color becomes a free piece and must move to a new location following the normal movement rules. - This process may be repeated multiple times in the same turn.
-Ŝako (checkmate) occurs when an opposing piece joins with the king. - Important: The king is not permitted to join with (capture) other pieces.
-Due to joined movement, it is possible for a pawn to be moved backward to, or past, its starting row. - Pawns may move forward two spaces from either of the first two rows on their own side of the board.
-When a pawn is captured en passant while joined with another piece, the captured pawn moves back one square to become joined with the capturing pawn - and the joined piece from the capturing side moves to a new location from its original position as with any other capture.
-Pawns are promoted when they reach the final row on the opposite side of the board, even if they were moved there by the other player as part of a joined pair.
