Setting Up The Board

To play you will need one Black Queen, one Black King, one White Queen, and one White King and a number of Black and White Pawns to be decided by the White Player.

White will always go first.

If you do not have a Black Queen, a Black Knight will do.  If you do not have a White Queen, a White Bishop will do.  If you do not have a Black King, a Black Bishop will do.

The White King must always be the White King.

White will always go first.  Black cannot act before White.

This is the Most Important Rule.
