QUICK GUIDE
Captured pieces enter your hand and can return to almost any empty square as your own.
Enter or leave the final three ranks to unlock stronger movement. Some promotions are mandatory.
You cannot drop a pawn into a file that already contains your unpromoted pawn.
Protect your king and attack theirs. A pawn may not be dropped to deliver immediate mate.
