All rules of Orthodox Chess (FIDE Chess) apply, but with the following modification:

1. A non-royal piece (Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight and Pawn) instead of capturing a non-royal piece it changes place with its attackable enemy or friend's pieces.

2. A non-royal piece doesn't swop with the (enemy or friend's) King, it just checks/checkmates the enemy's King.

3. King never swops, King can capture the other enemy's pieces.

3. Pawns promote when they move or swop to the last row. Pawns don't promote if they are swopped by a piece to the last row.

4. Repetition is a loss.
