$begingroup$

I believe the rules being broken are that




the board is not described traditionally, with the ranks described with letters and the files described with numbers




and




the board was set up with a black square in the bottom right hand corner (1a in this game's notation) rather than white as it should be.




This leads to checkmate by




promoting any of the white pawns to a rook or queen.

    The towers are both on black tiles, which is also a reason your rule can't work out.

I believe the rules being broken are that




the board is not described traditionally, with the ranks described with letters and the files described with numbers




and




the board was set up with a black square in the bottom right hand corner (1a in this game's notation) rather than white as it should be.




This leads to checkmate by




promoting any of the white pawns to a rook or queen.

Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
