The rules are the same as standard chess, except:
- Pawns can only advance 1 space on the opening. Therefore, no En-Passant capturing.
- Pawns may only promote to a captured piece.
- There is no castling.
- If 20 moves are played without a capture or promotion,
the player with the most `points' on the board wins. (Pawn=1 pt., Bishop/Knight=3, Rook=5, Queen = 9.)
