    Rule reminder

    Pawns reaching the 11th rank promote to Queen or Eagle.

    Castling is not allowed.

    An unmoved King that is not in check can also jump to the second ring of squares, provided a geometrically shortest path to its destination is not under attack by the opponent.

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

    Checkmating

    Next to Rook and Queen, Eagles can force checkmate on a bare king. You can practice checkmating with those on the 11x11 board here.
