- An 8x8 board without alternating colors

HOW TO PLAY
1
Instead of a fixed setup, each player secretly arranges their own back-row pieces behind a row of pawns.
2
Once both sides are set, gameplay begins with pieces moving similarly to international chess equivalents.
3
Capture enemy pieces by moving onto their square, following each piece's individual movement pattern.
4
Watch for the promotion square where a pawn that reaches it can be upgraded to a stronger piece.
5
The game ends when a player's general (king) is trapped with no safe move remaining.
