Main Game: the Original Super Knights
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game is played on a larger 100 Square board and features the following pieces:
The Chancellor can move like a Rook OR a Knight.
The Archbishop moves like a Bishop OR a Knight
The Amazon moves like a Queen or Knight.
Castling is done by moving King 3 spaces towards rook instead of 2.
Pawns can at any time move multiple spaces towards the middle, after which they move 1 space only.
En-Passant applies to the new movement of the pawn.
Quad Power!
-----------------------
Like Super Knights Grand Chess except that the Amazon is replaced by another Archbishop.
And, each side can optionally drop 5 ninja pawns.
The Ninja Pawn is a special pawn that can move/capture like a regular pawn as well as move 1 space sideways, and when in enemy territory it can also capture 1 space sideways.
The Ninja Pawns are dropped 1 per turn on the second rank and can be optionally pushed forward 1 or more squares towards the middle on the same turn.
Super Knights 2
----------------------------------------------
In this very balanced and satisfactory game, the two knights are replaced by:
The Ferz-Knight - moves like a knight or makes one step diagonally.
The Wazir-Knight - moves like a knight or makes one step orthogonally.
The Chancellor and Archbishop start off next to the two bishops and 5 Ninja Pawns can be dropped in the second rank.
This game also features:
Flexible Castling - The king can castle by moving 1 to 3 (or 4 on Q-side) squares towards rook. The rook always ends up next to the king on the other side as in standard chess.
Note: When carrying out 1 step castling, Zillions pops up a box asking to choose a move.
The second move indicating kings move AND the rook to move to king square is the castling move.
