I think you should add the rules about handicap game.
Usually, the stronger player will play first and remove one or more of his
pieces, but sometimes he can get something back to avoid a much too unfair
game:
1.If a player removes a Knight, and move his Rook nearby to that place
('Rook out of the Forest'), it will be covered by an enemy Cannon, but
the enemy Cannon cannot capture it.
2.If a player removes both Knights, his central Pawn ('Solid Pawn')
cannot be captured before it makes at least one move, unless the capture
is with a check.
3.If a player removes one Cannon, his other Cannon cannot be captured
before it makes at least one move.
3.If a player removes a Rook, his Cannon and Knight cannot be captured
before it makes at least one move.
