RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. Layout a 10 by 10 board. Place pawns on white’s 3rd row. On their 2nd row, from left to right, place: empty, knight, bishop, queen, king, marshal, cardinal, bishop, knight, empty. Place rooks in the corners. Mirror this setup for black.
The Marshal has the combined moves of Rook and Knight. The Cardinal has the combined moves of Bishop and Knight. Pawns are allowed their initial double step move option, and en passant is allowed like normal. Pawns may promote at the 8th or 9th row. Or they must promote when they reach other side of the board. Pawns can promote to any non-pawn piece that your opponent has captured. If your opponent hasn’t captured any, then a Pawn may not promote or move to the last row. A Pawn on the 9th row can still check an enemy king, even if there isn’t a piece it can promote to.
You are not allowed to castle.
The first player to checkmate their opponent, wins.
