Okay Ben, sorry for the short rules section.
I added the rule about excluding capturing pieces to the rules section. If there is anything else missing from the rules section, please let me know.

I have played the game many times and did not get the impression that the queen and rook play a decisive role in the final result of the game.

If someone should take the pity to program the game, it will turn out that the strategic component of the game cannot be determined by single pieces.

In the rules I have emphasized: In contrast to all chess variants, the capturing of opposing pieces is excluded. Only the king can be captured.
