Modern Dog Tournament Game (haoming09 - deeper_thinking)

why is the bulldog never used
Because it's fairly simple transparent pawn.
also, why comment on this forum rather than the pieces forum, or the notes?

This is a Round 1 game in the Modern Dog Tournament.
It is bulldog chess with witch and guard between @haoming09 (White) and @deeper_thinking (Black).
The game will follow the correspondence rules posted here.
Time Control: 3 days/move
Timeout Warnings: 24 hours to make a move after a warning. Maximum 3 warnings. Refreshes every 40th move
Vacation Time: 14 days. Refreshes every 40th move.
Rated: This is a rated game.
Setup: See image below
Note that the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess.
Pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.
Witch (W) - The rules for the witch can be found here.
Castling:
The rules of castling are similar as in classical chess. However, with the board 10 squares wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king. All squares between the king and rook must be unoccupied, with the exception of transparent pieces (see witch rules).
Promotion: Pawns can promote to guard and witch in addition to queen, rook, bishop or knight
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.
@haoming09 plays first. Good luck!
