Same as Classical Chess apart from the opening setup. In RoyalChess seven new pieces are introduced
- Cavalryman which slides like a Rider or leaps like a Knight
- Chancellor which slides like a Rook or leaps like a Knight
- Squire which slides normally 2 or 1 spaces, and has the chance of moving 3 on the first movement, and leaps like a Pawn
- Archer which slides like a Rider or leaps like a King
- Prince/ss which slides like a Knight or leaps like a King
- Tower-Archer/Tower which slides like a Rook or leaps like a King, and you can only obtain him by crowning.
Castling is performed by jumping four squares with the King instead of two. Other rules are similar to ordinary chess.
- Emperor, which is a combination of all pieces, except for the King and Pawns, which can only be obtained by promoting a corner Squire
or *Golden Squire.
RULES
- The board shall be a 12x12 board.
- Pawns are placed on the fourth line, Squires on the second; Rooks, Bishops (Riders),Knights on the corners of the first line.
Next to them, on the Queen's side go the Chancellor, next to the Knight, and the Cavalryman. On the King's side go the Archer and, next to the Knight, the Prince or Princess.
- The Pawns on the start can go foward two squares, Squires three. On the non-first moves they can advance 1, and Squires
1 to 2 squares. Pawns promote to Classical Chess pieces. Normal or *Squires of the Centre can promote to all board pieces,
except for the King, Pawns, and Squires; and the Corner Squires or *Golden Squires can promote to all pieces except the King,
Squire, and Pawns (YOU COULD PROMOTE TO PAWNS AND SQUIRES, BUT IT WOULD BE A LOSS OF TIME, AS WELL AS IN CLASSICAL CHESS).
Includes English and Spanish version.
