If players have elected to include external pieces, they must now be placed on the file on which the player intends to introduce the piece(s). If, for instance, the player places the external piece behind his own queen, then the piece is automatically introduced on the queen pawn's initial square when the queen pawn is moved, whether one or two steps. This method of introducing an external piece, or two, is probably ideal while the strategical situation is clarified before play begins.
