WILD5

***** WILD 5 *****

This game is a fun game that was created by Darooha.
This game is played exactly like regular chess with one twist.  All of
the pawns are one move from queening.  This means that your first move
will always be with a knight, because all of the pawns are blocked by
your own pieces.  The layout for this game is:

R N B K Q B N R
P P P P P P P P
- - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - -
p p p p p p p p
r n b k q b n r

The color that you are chosen to play will seem to be on the wrong side
of the board, but that's to make it so that your pawns queen at the same
place.  Ex. If you are white, your first move could be Nf6.
