More details here: Chess variant from 1893

Briefly,

The following pieces are used in the game: Queen, Bishops, Rooks and Pawns.
The initial arrangement on the 11x9 board looks like this:

Squares marked with black circles are not part of the board.

The queen is the most important piece in the game. Moves and captures like a normal chess queen. However, this piece must avoid check like a king in standard chess.

The rook moves and captures like a rook in standard chess.

The bishop moves and captures like a bishop in standard chess.

The pawn moves in all directions like a king in standard chess, but captures only diagonally.

To win the game, it is enough to deliver your queen to the central square e6 or checkmate it like a king in standard chess.
