Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot cross the river. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, unless obstructed by adjacent pieces. Rooks move any number of squares straight, acting as powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Pawns move forward one square and attack sideways after crossing the river. Remove the opponent's general to win the game. Plan your moves carefully to outmaneuver the computer opponent.
