Rex Multiplex
Glossary
- In Rex Multiplex, a pawn can also promote to king, so more than
one king of the same color may be present on the board. A move, giving
check to different kings, is allowed only if all checks can be parried
on the next move. Mate can only be given if all kings are mated in the
same move. In parrying a check or a mate for a part of the attacked
kings, it is not allowed to expose any other king of own color to any
(additional) check or mate. In case there is no other move of defense
available, either the position is mate or the checking move was illegal.
