In Harpy Chess the objective is to checkmate the opponent's king. Normal chess rules apply. However, a Harpy pawn can "unfold his wings", turn into a Flying Harpy, and travel directly to any empty square on the board, except the first and last rank. A Flying Harpy can (and must) move directly to another empty square after having been transformed. However, in order to "fold its wings" and become a normal Harpy pawn again the player must use up a move on the spot. In the flying state the piece cannot interact with other pieces, that is, cannot make captures. You transform a pawn (either Harpy to Flying Harpy or the reverse) by simply pressing on the piece. The Flying Harpy is only mobile directly after having "unfolded its wings". Hence it becomes immobile on the square where it has landed. So the only option is, later, to transform it to a normal Harpy again. |
