the players start with […] a queen and a king and 8 pawns on their secind rank

All standard chess pieces except the king

The king isn't royal

These statements contradict each other. How can the player start with a king that's not in the game, and how can said king be non‐royal?

Also the rules regarding pawns are a bit unclear — am I right in inferring that a pawn effectively demotes upon reaching the last rank while adding a new ‘pawn’ (which can still move as a queen) into the pocket? thereby making the pawns a potentially infinite source of new pieces?

so is this OK for deletion, or can you clarify the rules (and upload the images directly here)?

Since the author has been inactive since 2021, the author has no published submissions, and the page has broken external graphics, I will delete it.
