       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Here is a new variant based on Bombalot.
       [glow=deeppink,2,300]Rules[/glow]
       The board is 8x8.
       Gaps are holes where pieces cannot move onto.
       The game starts with a board where only the first two ranks and
       the last two ranks are not gaps.
       The game only starts when players place their two Rooks, four
       Tanks, two Bishops, King, Queen, and 8 Jumping Pawns.
       During the game, players may place tiles to fill gaps which
       takes a turn.
       Each player may place eight closed tiles.
       Each player may place unlimited open tiles.
       Rules are FIDE Chess unless otherwise specified.

       Tank - Moves like a King, but cannot capture pieces directly,
       only move them to an adjacent square in the same direction it
       moved it. It can move pieces off of the board or into a gap,
       capturing it.
