<p>A brief rules description can be found <a href='http://groups.msn.com/ChessVariantClub/pbmpresets.msnw?action=view_list&row=5&viewtype=2&sortstring='>here</a>. Basically:<br> the Bow and Arrow piece is a Longbowman, which moves like a <a href='/piececlopedia.dir/dabbabah.html'>Dabbabah</a>.<br> the Crecent Moon piece is a Seer, which moves like an <a href='/piececlopedia.dir/alfil.html'>Alfil</a>.<br> the Warrior's Head piece is a Swordsman, and can move 2 squares in any direction without jumping. This brief description seems to indicate that it cannot move a single space, but I assume he meant to say no more than 2.<br>Also, there's a special castling rule.</p> <p>It's too bad that the Game Courier preset has square colors that are so low-contrast. It would be nice if individual users could override square colors and piece sets on a game-by-game basis, but I realise that would probably be a real pain to implement.</p>
