Wild 9 is one of the more unusual wild variants. Instead of the usual king bishop, you start out with 2 kings! One king is just a normal piece, while the other is the one that must be checked and mated. However, their roles can change, as the game progresses! As you sweep the board from the bottom left, starting with a1 to a8, then b1 to b8, etc. until h8, the first king that you reach is the one that must be mated. The second king (if it is still on the board) is just a normal piece.
The other king is just an ordinary piece. It can be checked and captured with no consequences. The king you must mate can change during the course of the game.
Castling is only allowed on the queenside.
Pawns cannot promote to kings if one is captured earlier in the game.
