- 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:
“After the brief bivouac of Sunday,
their eyes, in the forced march of Monday to Saturday,
hoist the white flag, flutter in the snow storm of paper,”
—Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
“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)
“Women’s childhood relationships with their fathers are important to them all their lives. Regardless of age or status, women who seem clearest about their goals and most satisfied with their lives and personal and family relationships usually remember that their fathers enjoyed them and were actively interested in their development.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
