Pieces
- R-Relay: Moves/captures as rook. Any piece of any color may step here, then move again with that piece, leaving the relay here, max.value = value of relay.
- N=Night: Moves/captures as knight.
- B=Bank: Moves/captures as bishop. When it moves adjacent to any piece of any color, amount of that type of piece on your bench is set to: (A*(1+(V*0.10))), A=old value, V=moving fraction of bank's value.
- K=King: Moves/captures as king. If you lost at least 1/2 of your king, you lose the game.
- G=Guard: Moves/captures 1 space diagonally (Firzan).
- D=Doubler: Moves/captures as rook. Any adjacent piece of either color uses up a half less move energy per turn to move. If my value = 1/2, then a piece uses 1/4 (of its own value) less energy (3/4 normal), etc. The amount of energy required cannot go negative, it will only go down to zero.
- P=Pawn: Moves/captures 1 orthogonally forward. When across river (after 5th row), is 1 orthogonal any direction.
- #=Wall: No movement. If captured by anyone, they must immediately place it on any empty square or resign.
- *=Stone: No movement. If captured, must be placed on an adjacent empty square, or destroy any adjacent object (even the river, or any piece of either color, or a non-colored piece) without placing the stone.
- ==River: Can't be captured. It just blocks you.
Rules
- You lose if you cannot move.
- You must make 1 whole move, may be split into fractions as small as you want (see Fractional Chess ).
- Opponent pieces you capture are put onto your bench, as in Shogi. Drops may only be in your first 5 rows, and they cost the fraction of the part of piece dropped. You may drop on top of one of your pieces of same type, to add to the fraction.
