However, I thought some people would prefer to play a simplified version.
Normal rules apply, except for the following exceptions.
Both are important, for a reason which will soon become apparent. A piece located in a lane is considered to occupy all its squares simultaneously. It may also move, capture and get captured from any square in the lane. The friendly piece is NOT counted as being part of the lane, and must continue on its normal movement lines. A piece in movement may NOT be considered as being part of a lane until it stops in one.
