Description

Played on a 5×5 grid using chess pieces: 2 knights and 5 pawns for each player.

Rules

Soldiers move and capture like chess pawns, while kings move and capture like chess knights. If a soldier reaches the last rank, it is promoted to a king if the player has fewer than two kings. If the player has two kings, the promoted soldier is removed and placed on any empty cell. A player loses if they have no soldiers left on the board.
