I have a couple of questions about the rules.

  1. Can you travel back to a move in which you are in check? I'd assume not because you'd still be in check after dropping the king.
  2. If a man is scheduled to arrive on your move, can you go back in time instead of dropping the man on the board? What if that man happens to be a King?
  3. If a pawn travels forward in time, may it reappear behind the square from which it left? I know it can't reappear on the first rank, but can it reappear on the second rank if it left from the third? I ask because the bishops can only reappear on the squares they could have reached through on-board moves.
  4. If a man from move 5 is scheduled to appear on move 7, but a player on move 6 decides to go back to move 4, will that man still arrive on move 7 in the new timeline?
