- 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:
“The march interrupted the light afternoon.
Cars stopped dead, children began to run,
As out of the street-shadow into the sun
Discipline strode....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Our argument ... will result, not upon logic by itself—though without logic we should never have got to this point—but upon the fortunate contingent fact that people who would take this logically possible view, after they had really imagined themselves in the other man’s position, are extremely rare.”
—Richard M. Hare (b. 1919)
“It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played—all over the world—if this is the world at all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I wouldn’t mind being a Pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a Queen, best.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
