=== Army setup ===
[[Image:Chess_algebraic_notation.png|right]]
White can field  pieces from a1 to h2, black from h8 to a7.  Each army is built with 38 points + one "King" command unit.  Flexibility was sacrificed for the sake of game balance, so both armies must deploy the same units in a strict predefined formation.  This is enforced even outside tournament matches; almost all chess players will refuse to play if you don't assemble and deploy your 38-point army in this manner.

* You place the King and the Queen to the middle of the row closest to the players: Queens d1 and d8, Kings e1 and e8.
* Next to them (c1, g1, c8, g8) come the bishops, then the knights and finally the rooks.
* The second row (a-h 2 and a-h 7) is filled with the 8 pawns of the players.
