Messigny Chess: Instead of an ordinary move, any unit (Ks included) may be swapped with another of the same type and opposite colour, provided neither of the units involved was swapped on the previous move.
Take&Make: Having captured, a unit must immediately, as part of its move, play a non-capturing move in imitation of the captured unit from the capture-square. If no such move is available, the capture is illegal. Promotion by capture occurs only when a pawn arrives on the promotion rank as the result of a take&make move. Checks are as in normal chess: after the notional capture of the checked K, the checking unit does not move away from the King’s square.
