10. Pieces may not move to the same square two turns in a row.

11. Pieces on row 4 or row 5 may move from square xy to square (x+j)(y-j) or square (x+j)(y+j), where j is any integer.

So in layman's terms, 11 means you can go from any square on row 4/5 to just, any square? 

Edit: Oh, and c3 to f6

No, j has to be the same integer. So diagonals.

Blue just moved, and that is not a legal move regardless.

Ok, diagonals.

I was referencing rule 7 and the move that made it. But you are correct I forgot which turn it was.

Just because it was legal in the past doesn't mean it's legal now. Rule 8 outlawed moves except as explicitly permitted by other rules.

c7 to c5

There we go. That's it.

This is breaking my brain

I think that is also illegal as there's no piece to jump over and that's two squares.

Hm. Wait a second...

This is the board.

These are the rules.

1. The last color remaining on the board wins. (Black and white are not colors.) 

2. No color may move twice in a row.

3. Only one piece may move at a time.

New rules will be added as moves are made. (Only the GM may add rules.) (At most one rule will be made per move.) 

Moves that break the rules will not happen. (Rules do not apply retroactively.)

Standard chessboard square indicators are as follows.

a8	b8	c8	d8	e8	f8	g8	h8
a7	b7	c7	d7	e7	f7	g7	h7
a6	b6	c6	d6	e6	f6	g6	h6
a5	b5	c5	d5	e5	f5	g5	h5
a4	b4	c4	d4	e4	f4	g4	h4
a3	b3	c3	d3	e3	f3	g3	h3
a2	b2	c2	d2	e2	f2	g2	h2
a1	b1	c1	d1	e1	f1	g1	h1

The first move is from g7 to g5.

4. Pieces on square x7 may move to square x5. Pieces on square x2 may move to square x4. (x indicating any one letter.) 

It is blue's move.

I will add two rules, one for each move.

5. Pieces may jump over other pieces of the same color.

6. All red pieces may move from square xy to square x(y-1). All blue pieces may move from square xy to square x(y+1).

 

It is blue's move.

7. Pieces may not move more than 2 spaces in a turn unless they are making a capture.

8. Pieces may not move unless a rule explicitly allows them to do so.

9. Pieces on columns (d) or (e) may move to any other space on those columns in order to capture, assuming there are no pieces in the way.

You can certainly try.

11. Pieces on row 4 or row 5 may move from square xy to square (x+j)(y-j) or square (x+j)(y+j), where j is any integer.

The objective of the game is to be the last color on the board. And none of the rules say I can't do things other than move pieces outside of the rules...

I turn the board monochrome red.

12.  Red pieces on row 1 may move to any square on the board. Blue pieces on row 8 may move to any square on the board.

Ah. This is actually an illegal move.

Transformation counts as a move.

But the pieces aren't moving. They're all staying right where they are.

I say it counts, so it counts.  The board is 64 pieces, not one.

You're going to apply that that way? That makes capturing an offensive nearly impossible. 

Alrighty then. D4 to e5

[Szeth_Pancakes]

c5 to d6
