[4PC Variant]: Custom Starting Position

I've updated info on multiple king games, and added a section describing the rules for players that do not have a king.

For king-less players: the first pawn promoted to a king will become the royal king, which should provide for some new, interesting possibilities, for example https://www.chess.com/4pc-test?g=246354-0   

@CzarnyResorak567 please post links to games (not pgn) where real players (not bots) played this game.

Name= 44 Cats War

what is the queen with a 1 on it?

It is a queen valued 1 point when captured

sorry i've been very busy, I will catch up on this topic soon.

@acgusta2  still waiting for your response to my post #26

@spacebar It is correct that the position I presented is correct that the position I presented is equivalent to the one you presented, however I think that having the obstacles in the form of green bishops is more aesthetically pleasing, and like having queens that are forced to move only like bishops, and I think the green symbolizes the two teams fighting in the forest.

Prom=1 means promotion is turned off, because there isn't a rank 0, that would just be silly.

see #1

>having the obstacles in the form of green bishops is more aesthetically pleasing, and like having queens that are forced to move only like bishops

@acgusta2   i like it too ..but let me figure out how some tricks so the 'captured pieces' showing on the side (see #24) don't go overboard
