Royal Amazon Chess

This is a rules file for Zillions of Games, a Windows program that will let you play any puzzle or strategy board game you can feed it the rules to. With Zillions-of-Games installed, this rules file will let you play this game against your computer.

Royal Amazon Chess is the result of wondering how much is a piece weakened by being royal. So the Queen was made royal and promoted to an Amazon (Queen + Knight).
