Is this the correct understanding of the rules?

When a player's King is checkmated, the King becomes a Berzerker and one
of the player's Berzerkers becomes a new King. This does not count as a
move, so the player has the next move.

If a player's King is checked but not checkmated, the player chooses one
of these options:

1. Escape from check.
2. Treat the check as if it were checkmate.
3. Make a move which does not escape from check. If the opponent then
captures the King, one of the player's Berzerkers becomes a new King, but
this does count as a move and the opponent has the next move.
