Headsman's Chess

HOW TO PLAY HEADSMAN'S CHESS (Version 1.0): Headsman's Chess is played in a similar manner to a regular game of chess, but with some key differences. At the start of each match, both players have a "Headsman" piece that they can set up by swapping the hooded headsman for the head of one of their pawns on the board. The Headsman moves and captures just like a king, but it counts as a pawn in terms of value. When a player makes a capture with their Headsman, the captured piece's head can be swapped onto any adjacent piece to transform it into the type that was captured. This transformation happens after the capture move has been made. The Headsman itself can also be captured and have its head transferred in this manner.
