The board starts off empty. Each player has a regular set of eight pieces without the Pawns. White begins by dropping a piece anywhere on the board, except for the 4x4 area in the center. The players then alternate, dropping their pieces on any empty space. Kings are always placed last, and may not be put in any space that is attacked by either side. Note: due to the peculiarities of the ZRF system, when dropping a piece the computer identifies it as a different color. Just ignore it.
White seeks to capture Black's King, Black to capture Red's King, and Red to capture White's King. The King must actually be captured, not simply put into mate. Kings are forbidden from moving into any space where they may be attacked. |
