a feudal lord on a promotion square and their general is no longer on the board, the player can (if they wish to) promote the feudal lord to general instead of making a move. A feudal lord which passes the promotion square cannot promote anymore. The goal of the game is to khwè (checkmate) the opponent's king. Putting the opponent in stalemate is not allowed. In the version reported in A History of Chess in 1913, a game of sittuyin had three stages: Eight moves each: the sit-tee stage described above, but no restriction on chariot placing; Murray did not mention a curtain. Also, a player could put a piece where one of their pawns was, and in the same move put that pawn in a free square behind their row of pawns. Second stage: in each move, each player moves any one of their pieces (not a pawn) to any other empty place in their own half of the board, ignoring the usual move rules. Or they can move a pawn one square forwards and this ends the second stage and the third stage starts. Ordinary play, obeying the rules for piece moves. Dice rules Anne Sunnucks writes that three dice were thrown and each player made three moves at a time.
