    Rule reminder

    Pawns reaching the 10th rank must promote to any of the other non-royal pieces.

    The King can castle with the Rook, and then moves 2 squares in the direction of the latter.

    For playing through the sample game discussed in the book, go to the game viewer.

    Checkmating

    None of the unorthodox pieces has mating potential. You can practice checkmating with the other pieces on the 10x10 board here.
