Sparta

YOU HAVE THE POWER OF TRAINING. One Spartan soldier will equal a hundred others.


Starting configuration for Sparta

The warrior can move as a queen and as a knight, and cannot be moved or destroyed as a result of other players’ special abilities. You may not have more than one warrior at a time.

Spartan pawns can promote to a rook, knight, bishop or warrior.

Once per game, while in check, you may move your king and warrior on the same turn.

Should read moved or destroyed instead of captured

Changed "You are checkmated only when your king is captured twice. The first time that your king is captured, place it anywhere in your 3x5 area at the start of your next turn." to "Once per game, while in check, you may move your king and warrior on the same turn."
