I-Chess
This game is invented by Paul Velerzon Zama from Onești in Romania. One day while explaining the kids the rules of chess while telling them about how the knights reprezent the cavalry, the bishops the clergy, and so on, he came up with the idea that the naval and air forces used in modern could be represented also. So he invented the Dacian Wolf the represented of the sea forces and the eagle for the air force. Those were added to the regular setup on a 12x12 board.Setup
In the initial setup the 2 new pieces are added in the orthodox setup between the queen or king and the bishops with the wolf closer to the center as shown below:

Rules
Castling is done by moving the king four squares towards the rook on either side subject to the usual castling restrictions. A pawn in the home half of the board may move until the center of the board. En passant move is possible. Pawns promote on the last rank to any of the pieces in the initial setup.
