d3. So about spirits possessing witches. What are we doing there?
Bulldog Chess with Witch and Spirit (thegreatauk - McGoohan)
Sort:
A spirit can possess a witch, but the witch will still be unable to capture pieces. So basically, you can possess the witch, but the witch gains no movement (It can already move like a knight).

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 witch and spirit in addition to queen, rook, bishop or knight.
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.
@thegreatauk will play white.
Good luck!
