Moving and capturing


PAs move only forward and they cannot retreat. At the beginning of a game, each and every PA has the option to advance one or two cells as shown - FMO. Afterwards, they can only move one cell at a time – AOM (All Other Moves).		The PAs may capture in a diagonally way only as shown above. A-PA5 on cell E04 cannot move forward because it is blocked by B-PA4 on cell E05 (red mark) - since it is an illegal move.


In the above diagram, B-PA5 just moved two cells to D05. This enables A-PA5 to perform the optional en passant move by capturing it and placing himself onto the cell D06 (blue arrow).		When a PA reaches the 8^th rank, it can be enrobed/promoted to any desired MP other than KI or PA. A QU is chosen as a natural and logic elevation for she is the most powerful chess piece on the board. Underpromotion is also possible ie, RO, BS or KT on Level-01.

The two letters used to indicate the PA - personal assistant. All PAs are of equal value but some PAs are more equal than others. In Chesmayne each PA is given a name. Jacopo da Cessole (14^th century) was the first to give the mps a name. The monogram ‘PA’. PA5 (mp5) is known as ‘the eye of the army’. A PA is not able to reverse its move. ‘P’ is sometimes also used.
