SuperMega48 Rules (chess variant):

1. Starting position (see diagram #2).
2. SuperKing at y1 and y48. Checkmate this king to win.
3. Expanded Knight moves (see diagram #3).
4. Pawns can move as many spaces forward as possible at any time.
En passant rules still apply.
5. Notation is expanded with greek alphabet (see diagram #1).
