In a two-player game, one player takes a blue army and the other takes a brown army. The players toss a coin; the winner of the toss moves first and the loser of the toss may select two adjoining quadrants of the board on which to set up his forces. A divider screen is placed across the board and both players set up their pieces in secret.
The lion moves and captures one step orthogonally or diagonally in any direction—the same as a king in chess. It may not leave its 3×3 castle. The lion also has the special power to capture the enemy lion by moving as a chess queen across the river along an unobstructed file or diagonal—like the special "flying general" move of a xiangqi general.
Four-player chess (also known as four-handed chess) is a family of chess variants played with four people. The game features a special board typically made of a standard 8×8 square, with 3 rows of 8 cells each extending from each side, and requires two sets of differently colored pieces.
The knight can move up or down one board and two squares orthogonally, or up or down two boards and one square orthogonally. As in standard chess, the knight is the only piece able to move past intervening pieces. The bishop can move up or down one or two boards, as long as it also moves the same number of squares in a diagonal direction.
A man has capability to move based on its relative position to other friendly men on the board, as follows: If a man is orthogonally adjacent to a friendly man, then both have the ability to move as a rook in chess. If a man is diagonally adjacent to a friendly man, then both have the ability to move as a chess bishop.

In the set up to the right, a5 and e4 can be conceptualized as the same square. The specific rules for portal use are as follows: The aim of portal chess is the same as ordinary chess. Players place their portals anywhere on the fourth row from the players side before commencing a game. You can only move your colored portal.
The rules describe a highly variable set of pieces, which will often change every turn. In total there are 510 possible sets of a footprint; however, the starting position uses these rules to emulate chess pieces on a 6×6 board: king, queen, bishop, rook and pawn in this order R–B–Q–K–B–R in the last row (black's view) and 6 pawns in the next row.
