Displacement Chess 2 is played like standard chess except for following modifications:
- Flexible Castling - The king can castle by moving 1 to 3 squares towards rook. The rook always ends up next to the king on the other side as in standard chess. The same rules: cannot castle out of check, king cannot pass over squares attacked by enemy etc apply.
The choice of castling depends on whether it is more desirable to immediately have the rook in the center file or the king tucked away at the wing.
Note: When carrying out 1 step castling, Zillions pops up a box asking to choose a move.
The second move indicating kings move AND the rook to move to king square is the castling move.
- The positions of the King and Queen are switched for Black in board 1 or for White in board 2.
The third subvariation is orthodox chess played with the new castling rules.
