Same as Capablanca's Chess apart from the opening setup.
In Sino Chess two new pieces are introduced
- Archbishop:which Combines the powers of a Vao and a Zebra.The Vao:Moves by leaping
over an intervening piece and taking the piece on the Vao's destination square
(the captured piece can be any number of squares beyond the hurdle) .
- Chancellor: Combines the powers of a Korean Cannon and a Camel.
Castling may be performed by jumping three squares with the King instead of two.
Other rules are similar to ordinary chess. |
