- Game rules
For each move turn, a player makes two moves: he first moves one of his own pieces, then one of his opponent's men.
- If a player moves one of his pawns, then he may move any enemy piece, "including even the enemy king!" (Parton 1961:24)
- If a player moves his queen, rook, bishop, or knight, then he must move an enemy pawn.
- If a player moves his king, then he may move any enemy piece except the enemy king.
When a player is in check, he must get out of check immediately on his turn by moving one of his own men. (If he cannot legally do so, he loses the game.)

Famous quotes containing the words march, hare and/or chess:
“As high as mind stands above nature, so high does the state stand above physical life. Man must therefore venerate the state as a secular deity.... The march of God in the world, that is what the State is.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“We watched her jug a hare, once, on television, years ago.... The hare had been half rotted, then cremated, then consumed. If there is a god and she is of the rabbit family, then Saskia will be in deep doo- doo on Judgment Day.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Remember...that each child is a separate person, yours forever, but never fully yours. She can never be all you wished or wanted, or all you know she could be. But she will be a better human being if you can let her be herself.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
