[edit] Old talk

I've tried to fix some ambiguities in the variants. However, a few things remain unclear:

1. The phrase "initial square" occurs often. Does it mean the square on which that individual piece actually started, or the rebirth square according to the circe rules? And when it talks of the initial square of the capturing piece, does it mean the square on the capturer's side or the captured's side?
2. Circe Parrain: "If the godfather move is castling, then the rebirth-move is a King move followed by a Rook move (so that O-O as godfather-move usually leads to an occupied square)." [1] It took me a moment to figure out the unusual condition. It also doesn't address the question of what happens if the godfather move takes the rebirth square off the board - does it wrap round, or is the piece not reborn at all?
3. Clone circe: What happens if the capturing piece is a king? Is the captured piece reborn as itself, or what?
4. Diagram circe: What diagram? Does it mean that a diagram is given as the initial position (as in a problem), and rebirth occurs according to it?

[edit] Example

The black king wouldn't be able to take the rook anyway, because of the white pawn 'guarding' it. Unless the rules for pawns capturing changes in circe chess?130.95.106.154 02:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

White's moving up the board. Usual convention in game diagrams. 62.136.137.117 14:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
