- arranging a first set of chess pieces placed on the first two rows of the first chess board on one side of the first dividing line;
- arranging a second set of chess pieces placed on the last two rows of the first chess board on one side of the second dividing line;
- arranging a third set of chess pieces placed on the first two rows of the second chess board on one side of the first dividing line;
- arranging a fourth set of chess pieces placed on the last two rows of the second chess board on one side of the second dividing line;
- wherein, alliances may be formed between multiple players, where each player moves at least one chess piece on every turn;
