 395     <li>Pawns capture differently from how they move (straight
 396     move, diagonal capture).</li>
 397
 398     <li>There is no initial double-push, and thus no en-passant
 399     capture.</li>
 400
 401     <li>Pawns promote to Met when they reach the <b>6th rank</b>;
 402     there is no choice.</li>

 404
 405   <h3>General rules</h3>
 406
 407   <ul>
 408     <li>It is not allowed to expose your King to check.</li>
 409
 410     <li>The game is won by checkmating the opponent's King.</li>
 411
 412     <li>Stalemate (no legal moves, but not in check) is a
 413     draw.</li>
 414   </ul>
 415
 416   <h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
 417
 418   <p>The Queen and Bishops are replaced by Ferz and Elephant. Pawns
 419   start on the third rank. Promotion happens on 6th rank. Promotion
 420   always to Met.</p>
 421
 422   <h3>Strategy issues</h3>
 423
 424   <p>It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just
 425   a single Met, Elephant or Knight (in addition to your own King).
 426   Two Knights or two Mets cannot do it either.</p>
