This is a semi final game in the Big Dog #2 Tournament between @Martin0 (White) and @rychessmaster1 (Black). It is a bulldog chess game with guard and witch.

Time Control: 3 days/move + 24 hour timeout warning.

Vacation Time: 4 days. Refreshes every 40th move.

Rated: This is a rated game.

Setup: See image below

null

Note the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess. This is so the guard and witch are equal distance to each player's king and queen.

Pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.

null

Witch (W) - The witch is transparent to friendly pieces, and she also makes all adjacent pieces (friend and foe) transparent to friendly pieces (but pieces are not transparent for the witch). The witch does not capture other pieces, but she can be captured. Although pieces are not transparent to the witch, she is very agile; she combines the movement of queen, knight, and can jump orthogonally and diagonally two squares. Transparency of a piece means that other pieces can move, attack, and capture right through the piece.

null

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 the involved rook must be unoccupied, with the exception of transparent pieces.

Promotion: Pawns can promote to guard or witch in addition to queen, rook, bishop or knight.

Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.

Good luck!

I also like switching up move orders sometimes.
