Pawns

Palaces

Palaces are located in the squares E1, E2, F1, F2 (one palace) and E9, Eᚴ, F9, Fᚴ (the other palace). If the king is located in the palace they began in (not the opposing palace), they can do a move called "king's" leap, which allows them to jump two spaces instead of one. That doesn't mean, that kings are not allowed to move in the palace normally, just that they can perform the jump.

This move can be performed unlimited number of times, as long as the king doesn't enter opponent's promotion area. The moment the king enters the opponent's promotion zone, the palace is considered "disbanded" and the king may not perform the move anymore. The king may not perform the jump from outside into the palace, only from inside out.

Promotion

The promotion of a figure is done by flipping it. The promotion of a figure can (but doesn't have to) be done when the figure enters the opposing player's promotion zone, which are the three last rows of the board.
