The board has 13 x 13 squares.
Moves as in usual Chess, except there is no castling.
Moves one square vertically and then, slides away of an indefinite number of squares diagonally. It can not jump and the unobstructed path must start with the vertical movement.
Moves one square diagonally and then, goes away of an indefinite number of cases vertically, never horizontally.
Steps horizontally, vertically or diagonally one or two squares, leaping over the intermediate square if it is occupied
Jumps at 2 squares
Jumps at 3 squares
Makes a 3-step orthogonal or diagonal jump, no matter what any intermediate square contains. In addition, it moves 1 step forward and captures 1 step diagonally forward (like a Pawn). This permits the Troll to reach any square on the board. It can promote to wolf only when it moves like a Pawn, never by jumping 3 squares
A non-royal King who moves and captures one square in any direction, but without being hindered by check. Like the Pawn, he can also move without capturing to the second square straight ahead. When he reaches the last row it can promote to wolf.
Moves straight forward one or two square from any position on the board, without capturing. It captures one square diagonally forward. As a consequence, the en-passant capture is possible every time an opposite Pawn or Prince has advanced two squares. When he reaches the last row it can promote to Direwolf.
