Rule reminder

Before starting to play you have to drag two pieces of each color to the blacked-out ranks; white and black should use the same pieces, but they can be placed differently.
Use correct turn order (w, b, w, b) while placing the pieces to get an unambiguous game record!

On the first move of a back-rank piece, any piece standing behind it moves one step forward to enter the board.

If a piece is placed behind the King, there cannot be any pieces behind the Rooks of that player.

You should promote only to an orthodox or initially selected piece.
