Rules
Aside from the Kings being replaced by a royal Snake (B) and a royal Mongoose (M), all of the normal rules of Chess apply.Notes
The respective moves of the Mongoose and Snake prevent them from attacking each other at the same time; either the Snake attacks the Mongoose, or the Mongoose attacks the Snake.
