Mock Chess startup appears normal.

To win the game, a player must capture all his opponent's pieces, including the king. "A proper pseudomorph to Chess, for it has no elements of check and mate whatever in its basis. Kings are now merely treated like any other chessman." (Parton 1961:15)

Game rules

If a player can capture, he must do so. If more than one capture are possible on his move turn, he may choose which one to make. Only one capture per turn may be made.

On its first move, a pawn must advance two squares—unless the pawn's first move is a capture.

Famous quotes containing the words mock and/or chess:

    All parents should be aware that when they mock or curse gay people, they may be mocking or cursing their own child.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)

    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)
