the first player moves a piece, and the the second player moves a piece.
law'logh qaS mIwvam
this process occurs many times
(I think that <law'logh> is a little iffy, but I couldn't think of anything
else to convey the concept that the process is repeated an indefinate number
of times.)

each player has 16 pieces

8 pieces are pawns

vIHlaH 'ej vaj 'etDaq 'o'Daq ghap wa' chuq vIHlaH
(Am I able to do this with the locatives, or should I have expanded it into
8 individual sentences?)
while one move occurs, they are able to move two distances forwards or
backwards and then one left or right or two distances left or right and then
on forwards of backwards.

two pieces are bishops
SaSvo' gho wa' wav chorgh jIr vIHchaj

this?)

distance.
