Event #115 Piecebuilder
Type: Rook carrier
Condition: Can not be started with another rook carrier event. At least 1 rook for each player.
Bishops and knights can move on top of an allied rook with its normal movement. A rook can only have 1 piece on top of it.
A rook without a piece on top can "capture" an allied bishop or knight with its normal movement. The captured bishop/knight will be put on top of the rook.
When a bishop is standing on top of a rook, then the rook and bishop can move together like a rook or bishop (like a queen).
When a knight is standing on top of a rook, then the rook and knight can move together like a rook or knight (like a rook-knight compound).
If the rook becomes captured while a piece is standing on top of it, then the piece on top will also get captured.
As a move, a piece on top of a rook can move off the rook with its normal movement. However the rook can not move without also moving the piece on top.
A rook can be a part of castling, even if it has a piece on top of it. The piece will remain on top of the rook.
Note: A bishop can not move over allied rooks, it must stop on top of the rook.
Example 1:
Whites bishop can not move to d4 to go on top of the white rook (since it needs to move like a bishop when doing so). However, whites rook can move to e4. Rxe4
Now white can either move both the rook and bishop like a queen (like RBa4 or RBc6) or white can move the bishop out of the rook.
Example 2:
White plays Ne1 (so now the knight is on top of the rook).
Now white can either move both the rook and knight like a rook or knight (like RNa1 or RNd3) or white can move the knight out of the rook.
Example 3:
White plays Bxb7
Example 4:
White plays 0-0
