RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. Replace bishops with elephants and the queen with a minister.

Elephants jump exactly 2 squares in any direction, leaping over any piece in the way. The minister moves and captures to any diagonally adjacent space. Pawns are not allowed their initial double step move option, therefore en passant is not allowed. Pawns must promote to a minister when reaching the far side of the board.

If a player is stalemated then they win.
