The basic rules are the same as in the orthochess. Eliminated is e.p.capture. New in this variant are three "butterflies"- hybrid units: Queen + Grasshopper, Rook + RGrasshopper and Bishop + BGrasshopper, each "butterfly" combines a complete movement of both units. The extension enables for unit to stand on the next square behind a jumped man - if is occupied by enemy unit, that is eleminated from a game. During all game in the standard mode, the men, that are standing on 2. and 7. row must not be jumped by extended unit ("butterflies") in any direction. Destroyer mode allows jumping them in any direction except forward.
