Appendix II: The Rules of Keschet
Keschet is played by two players on a board of one hundred squares. Each player begins the game with 1 Emperor, 1 General, 1 Scholar, 2 Merchants, 3 Thieves, 4 Lancers, 5 Archers and 8 Spearmen.
At the start of the game a player may place any piece in any square in the first three rows at their end of the board. The opposing player will then place a piece of their choosing in the first three rows of their end of the board. All pieces are then placed on the board in turn. The player who placed the first piece then makes the first move.
A piece is taken if the square it occupies is occupied by an opposing piece. The game is won if the Emperor is taken or if the Emperor is the only piece remaining the losing player.
Any piece in an adjoining square to the Scholar is protected and cannot be taken.
The Scholar may move one or two squares in any direction.
The Emperor can move up to four squares in any direction.
The General can move up to ten squares in any direction.
