George, the following rules were what Ben Good and I used when playing these games, and which was encoded into the ZRF. <p><ol> <li>Pawns have an initial move of one, two or three squares with <i>en-passant</i> possible. <p><li>The King castles by moving three squares toward the Rook, which would then leap to the King's far side. <p><li>Pawn promotion on the tenth rank to any type of piece that started on the board. </ol> <p> These seemed to work pretty well. You can take then as official for the four games in this set that I invented (Advancer, Long-Leaper, Pushme-Pullyu and Swapper Chess). <p> The ZRF also contains the same games played on a 10x8 board with normal Pawn initial movement. These also work pretty well.
