I will update this page this weekend. I'll get rid of the external link, now dead, and replace with a description of the rules.
What an uninspired game this was... slow and boring, I'd imagine. The pawns were not given a 3-step move and the new pieces moved only one space at a time, so it would have taken a game quite a while to get going. The sets themselves were pretty expensive ($80) and the company web site was quite bad. (You can still see it at archive.org.) I could find no indication of how far the king moves when castling.
EDIT: I now notice that old ChessV plays this game. I just tested it and the king moves three squares when castling. Presumably that was the rule which I found somewhere or asked the author. It's unlikely that I just made it up.
