Play Play AI Analysis Rules

A variant with a 8x8 board, wazirs in the back rank, and three major pieces: queens, archbishops, and chancellors. Wazirs move one step horizontally or vertically, archbishops move like bishops or horseys, and chancellors move like rooks or horseys. Wazirs are represented the same way as rooks due to technical limitations, but don't get them confused!
