Hi Charles, I am happy to receive your questions, as they are easy to answer and helpful to clarify the rules. Considering question 1. the rules given on <a href='http://www.hexenspiel.de/engl/synchronous-chess/'>http://www.hexenspiel.de/engl/synchronous-chess/</a> tell that, when as a result of the two synchronous moves: '... both moving figures move to one and the same field, then these figures have both been hit and as a result are removed from the board.' This means for example: 1. e2-e4 e7-e6 2. e4-e5 e6-e5 -> here, in one and the same moment, both pawns move to one and the same field, and hence both have to be eliminated. To which field the pawns are allowed to move is of course only dependend on the situation before the move. Only the moves which are possible in the conventional chess (i.e. -assuming the other player does not move any of his figures simultaneously-) are allowed.
