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.

Good luck!

Please note the slightly different guard and very different witch, this is the musketeer set which, if you need an analysis tool, can be found here...

ty amusingmouse, I will post a new board with every one of my moves though so don't feel like you need to do it.

Oh and on your board you played 1. f4 not 1. e4, an easy mistake to make since 1. e4 in regular chess is the king's pawn.
