Pandemonium (Surajang修羅場)

Writing...

Rules

[Promotion]

 1. Pieces that reach the last(10th) rank may be promoted. but Pawn that reach the last rank must be promoted.

 2. When a Promoted piece is captured, its promotion disappears.

 

[Drop]

 1. You can drop a piece you captured on any empty square.

 - Only one piece may be dropped on the board per turn, and this must be done instead of moving a piece on the board.

 2. The piece cannot be promoted as soon as it is dropped to the last rank. A dropped piece must move after it is dropped so that you can choose whether to promote it or not.

 3. Pawns cannot be dropped into the last rank.

 4. Even if the Rook or King moves or drops, you can castling if you are in the right position. Likewise, even if the Pawn is dropped or moved, it can move up to 3 squares if it is on the second rank.

 5. You can check by dropping a Pawn, but you cannot checkmate by dropping a Pawn. (It is possible to check by dropping a Pawn and checkmate on your next turn. This is because it is not a checkmate as a dropped Pawn.)

 

 There is no passing a turn.

 There is En passant rule.

 - 6th rank Pawn can capture the enemy Pawn moved 3 squares. and 7th rank Pawn can capture the enemy Pawn moved 2 or 3 squares.

 If the same state occurs 3 times in a row, it is a draw. that is, if the position of the pieces, the type and number of pieces caught, and the turn are exactly the same 3 times in a row, the Threefold repetition is established and the match becomes a draw. but if you make the same state 3 times as a repetitive check, you are defeated.
