Abdul-Rahman Sibahi; Thank you for the comment. You can have two or three
Kings.  But, as indicated in the 'Tips' in the rules ( I quote them
now):

(1) Be careful about using backward time travel. You can end up with 2 or
3 Kings. If two Kings are in check at once only a capture of the checking
piece will stop the loss of the game (or at least delay it). Remember that
you lose the game if one of your Kings becomes lost in time.

(2) If you have saved your two backward travels and you reach a King and
Pawn endgame you could use them to effectively create a three King and
Pawn vs. a 1 King and Pawn Ending, which is a great advantage as it is
unlikely for any of your 3 Kings to get checkmated and they should be able
to wipe out your opponent’s pawns while protecting your own.

There are a few game logs of some very good games and there is one sample
game in the rules.  Too much time travel can do more harm than good.

Take care, and thanks again for commenting. Best regards, Gary
