Turnover. Three ring sizes fit into each other, combining and splitting into different pieces, sometimes taking over your opponent's.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

So how do you explain a diagonally forward move of a Castle can turnover, but neither move the entire Castle nor the Wall to an empty square? None of the written rules remotely suggest such a thing, and neither does the diagram. It beats me how anyone could interpret the currently given rules this way; the interpretation of 'forward' as "straight or diagonally forward" does not hold either. There must have been a different rule description in the past.
