Rules
Chess with magical connections is a type of chess in which a piece changes its properties if it is supported by two other pieces on the same side, meaning that each of the other two pieces could move to its location if it were unoccupied.
The pawn does not gain additional powers from magical connections until it is has crossed to the opponent's side of the board.
