376 <h3>Pawn peculiarities</h3>
379 <li>Pawns capture differently from how they move (straight
380 move, diagonal capture).</li>
382 <li>Pawns can move two squares straight ahead from their
383 initial position, provided they are not blocked.</li>
385 <li>On the move immediately after such a double push, they can
386 be captured en passant by another Pawn, as if they had only
387 moved 1 square ahead.</li>
389 <li>Pawns promote to another piece of choice <b>(including
390 King)</b> when they reach last rank.</li>
395 <p>A King that has not moved before can move two squares in the
396 direction of a Rook that has not moved before, in which case that
397 Rook is moved to the square the King skipped over. This is only
398 allowed if all squares between King and Rook are empty.</p>
400 <h3>General rules</h3>
403 <li>Capture is mandatory; if ay capture is possible, you cannot
404 play a non-capture.</li>
406 <li>The game is won by the side that has no pieces left.</li>
408 <li>In other case of stalemate (no legal moves) the side with
409 the smallest number of pieces wins.</li>
411 <li>Stalemate with an equal number of pieces is a draw.</li>
414 <h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
416 <p>Capture is mandatory. The King is not special in any way, and
417 can be captured like any other piece. Hence the concept of
418 'check' does not exist. Pawns can promote to King.</p>
420 <h3>Strategy issues</h3>
422 <p>The King is actually a good choice for a promotion piece, as
423 it is not so easy for the opponent to feed a lot of material to a
