Jabberwocky Chess

Hey, guys!

You start with 16 kings, located on the first two ranks of the chessboard. 

Every time a chess piece makes a move, it transforms into another piece according to a given cycle:
King > Pawn > Knight > Bishop > Rook > Queen > King
Thus, after moving a King, the King is transformed into a Pawn of the same color. After moving a Pawn, the Pawn becomes a Knight, and so on.

All chess pieces move and capture according to the FIDE Rules of Chess, except that Pawn moves only one square forward and King can be captured like any other piece.
Thus, in the game there is no concept of check as such and the king is not inviolable.

Capture is mandatory. If several pieces can be captured, the player chooses any of them.

At the end of your turn, there must be at least one king of your color on the board. If such a condition cannot be met, then you have been checkmated.

If a king moves to the 8th rank, can it turn into any piece like promotion?

It is a cool game, very materialistic but still has good strategy.

When the King reaches the farthest rank from its original position (the eighth for White and the first for Black), instead of being transformed into a Pawn, it must be replaced, at the player's choice, by a Queen, Rook, Bishop or Knight of the same color, which is equivalent to promoting a pawn in standard chess.

The same is true for the King, who ended up on the farthest rank as a result of the Queen's transformation. Its subsequent movement along the farthest rank must be accompanied by its transformation into a queen, rook, bishop or knight, at the player's choice, but not into a pawn. It can only transform into a pawn by stepping onto the adjacent rank.
