I have played it a lot and it is very fun. My fourth grade class has really enjoyed playing it, too. Below, you find his rules. To checkmate the enemy king as in regular chess.
All pieces move as in regular chess .
Pawns may promote as usual. Pawns may move two squares on first move as usual. A 5x8 board is used. Each player has only five pawns on their second rank. All other pieces are placed as in the diagram above.
