Movement is similar to other hexagonal chess variants, like Glinski's Hexagonal chess . Rooks, bishops, queens, and knights move exactly like in Glinski's Hexagonal chess . Mate, stalemate, check, are like in usual chess. There is no castling.
Pawns promote on the corner rear ranks , i.e., two of the four sides left and right of the board.
No specific rules how to win the game are given, or what to do when one player is stalemated, etc. Now, the circles at the left are considered to be adjacent to the right. The marked line in the diagram shows this well, but other lines are also considered to be adjacent. The letters in the circles help to see how the different lines go on at the other side of the board. The pieces are set up like in Rose chess.
