Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Put the rules into context
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
