<h2>Pieces moves</h2>
<p>The moves are identical to orthodox chess moves adapted to circular topology.</p>
<p>Dispite this ring topology, Queens and rooks are not allowed to move to the position they are leaving.</p>
<p>There is no castling. </p>
<p>Pawns have double step start possibility. There is no "En passant" capture. Promotion is on the opponent start line (6 cells ahead from pawn start position)</p>
