First black decides which players makes the first selection.
That player then chooses from the list of these four different armies. Then, the other player selects a army, but it may not be the same army as had been chosen by his opponent. Then, white makes the first move. The only difference for the Colorbound Clobberers is that when castling Queenside, the king moves three squares and the BD moves two squares. When a pawn promotes, it may be promoted to any type of piece that was present in the opening setup, but not to a king or a pawn.
