+\vspace{0.20in}
+In order to play this game, you will need a chess board, and a few items,
+such as coins or tokens to be able to remember marked pieces or board
+locations. Also, paper and pen might come in handy.
+\\
+\vspace{0.10in}
+Shuffle the cards and put them face down next to the chess board. You will
+draw cards from that pile. Prepare a spot for discarded cards. Draw five
+cards for each players.

+{\huge Turns}
+\\
+\vspace{0.20in}
+Use the normal rules of chess as a base set of rules. You will play the
+game of chess normally, but use the cards as modifiers throughout the game.
+Read the rules of the cards to know when you can play them. You will be able
+to play cards at various point in time, but players can only play one card
+per turn. A turn is one player's move, so you can play one card during your
+turn, and one card during your opponent's turn.

+{\huge Playing cards}
+\\
+\vspace{0.20in}
+Cards are normally placed on the discard pile after being played. Draw
+a new card immediately after playing a card. If the drawing pile is empty
+when you need to draw a card, shuffle the discard pile and put it face down
+into the drawing pile. Follow the rules of the card as much as you can, but
+if the card's effect can't be applied for any reason, simply discard the card.
+A card's effect can't be used to cause a checkmate. \textbf{This last rule
+overrides any other.}

+{\huge Effects duration}
+\\
+\vspace{0.20in}
+Normally, cards' effect applies immediately when the card is played, and
+is then discarded. However, cards with the \CE symbol have a continuous
+effect. If you play one, place it next to the board. The card's rule
+will stay in effect until it is discarded for any reason. When the card's
+effect terminates, discard the card to the discard pile. If a \CE card
+targets a specific piece or set of pieces, the card's effect terminates
+when there's no longer pieces it can apply to.

+{\huge Variants}
+\\
+\vspace{0.20in}
+Feel free to add or remove any card you want when building the deck initially.
+Create new cards if you so wish!
+\\
+\vspace{0.10in}
+Consider shrinking the hand of better chess players as a handicap.
+\\
+\vspace{0.10in}
+Another interesting variant requires players to place their cards face up
+on the table for their opponent to see.
