The centers of the squares where the white pieces are are the corners of 
a rectangle. White plays 4 moves, after which a new rectangle on a 
different place on the board appears with the same surface. 5 solutions.
Original text: Die Mittelpunkte der Standfelder der weißen Steine sind 
die Eckpunkte eines Rechtecks. Weiß macht 4 Züge, sodass ein neues 
Rechteck mit der gleichen Flächengröße an einer anderen Stelle des 
Schachbretts entsteht. 5 Lösungen!

Tibet chess: When a black piece (except the king) captures a different 
type of white piece, it changes its colour. (i.e. Sa6xSb4: the knight 
stays black. Sa6xRb4: The knight becomes white).
