Having played a lot of this game, I have some rule clarifications the way
we play them.

1) Knights. Move diagonal + straight or straight + diagonal, but do not
land on a square touching the square they started from. From c4 there are
9 possible moves (the usual 8 on the red-green board + blue d4), from d4
there are 10 (the usual 8 on the red-green board and blue c4 & d3). 

2) The king is the only piece able to move to the square of opposite
colour in the center (red d4 to blue e4). 

3) Tournament scoring: Whenever a player is checkmated this ends the
game.
If he is in check by one player, score 2 - 1 - 0, if he is in check by
both opponents, score 3/2 - 3/2 - 0. If a draw is reached, score 1 - 1 -
1.
