A method of playing a modified chess game by introducing a new piece in the shape
of a lion to be called Leo. The Leo moves two squares in any direction selected
from any of the diagonal, vertical or horizontal directions, moving forward and
backward, leaping over other pieces and may capture in its destination squares
in addition to the two square diagonally adjacent to the front of its only. Each
of the two playing sets consists of the sixteen pieces of the orthodox chess game
plus two Leo pieces and two extra pawns. The game board consists of 100 squares
in alternating light and dark colors, arranged in ten rows by ten columns. The
Leos' starting positions are one beside the king and one beside the queen. When
castling, the king moves to either of the knight's starting positions and the involved
rook moves over the king to the corresponding bishop's starting position.
