Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Fergus Duniho invented this game, in which Rooks, Bishops, and Knights may fuse with one another, or be joined by the King. Compound pieces may disassociate. Simple pieces which move out of attack to an empty square become compound pieces. Compound pieces become simple pieces when they capture.

In this version, I have not allowed a Royal Bishop or Royal Rook to cross over a square under enemy attack. See Fusion Chess B, where this is permitted.

K+R "Dragon King" or "Royal Rook"
K+B "Pope" or "Royal Bishop"
K+N "Equis Rex" or "Royal Knight"
R+N "Marshall"
B+N "Paladin" or "Pegasus"
