  48 <LI>There is no queen.
  49 <P>

  51 <LI>Pawns capture the same way they move.  There is no initial
  52 two-space pawn move and no <EM>en-passant</EM> move.
  53 <P>
  54
  55 <LI>There is no special castling move.  There <EM>are</EM> a large
  56 number of possible defensive formations referred to as "castles"
  57 (see section <A HREF="gnushogi_15.html#SEC15">2.2 Sample game</A>) but there is no need for special moves to create
  58 them.

  61 <LI>A given piece can only promote to <EM>one</EM> other kind of piece.
