The game requires a 9 x 9 board. The pieces are bound to columns; this applies to ranks 3 to 7. The binding corresponds to the placement of the pieces on the respective base lines. For example, the a-file (ranks 3 to 7) is reserved for rooks, the d-file, for example, contains queens. There is no morphing on the e-file. On ranks 2 and 8 there are only pawns, so that it is possible to promote the pawns on the base lines.
