Start of Game:

Players agree on who will start first. In Ouk Online, the game host has an option to start first. Each player switches turns moving a piece according to the movement rules of that piece. There are special rules which pertain to the initial movement and promotion.

Special Moves:
There are rules which pertain to the initial movement of the Queen and King.

• Queen: On its first move, it may move 2 squares forward and can jump over another piece. Capturing an opponent piece on its first move is allowed.
• King: On the first move when not under attack, the King can move like a horse onto an empty square.

Promotion:
When a Fish is moved to the 6th rank (the 6th row; it is the row that the opponent fishes were originally set up), the fish become Promoted Fish. It moves like the Queen without any special move.
