Chess played on a 6x6 board.
You can "drop" enemy pieces you've captured anywhere on the board as your own.
White starts with two knights and Black with two bishops—so you have to capture the opponent's knights/bishops to get your own!
Here, Black captures White's knight.
Black can now drop the knight to push the attack.
