If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play Burmese chess here. Pieces are dropped onto the board before play starts, behind the original row of pawns. Pritchard states that one side drops all the pieces first, then the other days, and adds that other sources say dropping the pieces alternate. Generals move one square diagonally.
Elephants move one square diagonally or one square straight ahead.
There is no double-first move for pawns. There is no castling. You may not move to cause stalemate. If you do that here, you lose. Once the original general is gone, awns promote to general on the diagonal-lined squares on the opposite side of the board.
