Rules
The game is as orthodox chess, but now there are two different ways to win the game:- Checkmate the opponent (as usual.)
- Move any piece that is a starting square of one of the rooks of the opponent. I.e., white wins when he moves a piece to a8 or h8, and black wins when he moves a piece to a1 or h1.
