-<h3>Pawn peculiarities</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Pawns capture differently from how they move (straight move, diagonal capture).</li>
-<li>There is no initial double-push, and thus no en-passant capture.</li>
-<li>Pawns promote to a piece chosen from the set of captured pieces, or to Soldier when they reach last rank.
-The chosen piece is then removed from this set.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>General rules</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>It is not allowed to expose your King to check.</li>
-<li>The game is won by checkmating the opponent's King.</li>
-<li>Stalemate (no legal moves, but not in check) is a draw.</li>
-<li>If your opponent only has a King at the beginning of your turn, and your king is not yet bare, you win.
-This means that after you capture the last piece, the opponent gets one equalizing turn to recapture yours,
-in which case it would be a draw.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>XBoard interface issues</h3>
-<p>
-When a Pawn can be promoted, XBoard first advances it as a Pawn to the promotion square.
-Then it waits for you to complete the move entry by clicking on the piece in the holdings beside the board that you want to promote to.
-Initially there are a number of Soldiers available in the holdings,
-for when you should promote before any of your pieces is captured.
-</p>
-<h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
-<p>
-There are no sliders such as Rook, Bishop or Queen in this game:
-their distant moves have all been replaced by a single two-square jumping move.
-In addition it is more related to Capablanca Chess than to FIDE,
-featuring compounds of Knight and the pieces substituting for Rook and Bishop,
-and the wider board to accomodate them.
-There is no double-push on the Pawns (and thus no e.p. capture),
-and promotion only allows you to regain back a piece that you lost before,
-or one of the stocked Soldier pieces that do not occur in the initial setup.
-</p>
-<h3>Strategy issues</h3>
-<p>
-Elephants are confined to squares of a single color.
-Having Elephants on both colors compensates this weakness, and is worth an extra 0.5 on top of their added value.
-</p>
-<p>
-As the three strongest pieces (General, Minister and High Priestess) are nearly equal in value, under-promotion is very common.
