Quantity rule

If player has the choice between several captures, he or she must choose the one that gives the maximum of opponent's pieces.

Quality Rule

If captures give the same maximum number of pieces, player must capture as much kings as possible.

Quote: For we must consider that we shall be a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world.
