by symmetrical square, Antoine means the square of the same rank,
but on a file as far from the farther edge as the original file
is from the closer edge.

So the symmetrical square of a square on y file is on the j file
similarly the following pairs of files correspond:

z-i
a-h
b-g
c-f
d-e

so jack first moves from its square to the corresponding square in the
corresponding file then moves as a firz or wazir depending on the 
location of the kings.
