Communist Chess Rules

1. Check Definition: ANY piece is in "check" if it's unprotected AND attacked

2. Moving into Check: ILLEGAL! Can't move any piece to a square where it would be in check

3. Leaving Piece in Check: ILLEGAL! Can't make a move that leaves ANY friendly piece in check

4. King Rule: King is like any other piece (no special treatment, can be captured)
