Headsman's Chess

HOW TO PLAY HEADSMAN'S CHESS (Version 1.0): Headsman's Chess is played in the same manner as a regular game of chess, except for these unique twists: Each player starts the match with a "Headsman" piece that they set up by swapping the hooded headsman for one of their pawns' head. The Headsman moves and captures just like a king, but it counts as a pawn in every way. When a player makes a capture with their Headsman, they can swap the captured piece's head onto any adjacent piece after the capture move has been made, turning that piece into the type that was captured. This can happen to either friendly or enemy pieces. The Headsman itself can also be captured and have its head swapped in this way.
