Baseball Chess 9x9, Relief Pitchers.  Baseball is a state of mind. (Notice
above and below that in Baseball Chess, whereas pinch hitters 'gg' to
'kk', 'll' being exception, are adding to the number of pieces, Relief
Pitchers only replace either Queen or one of themselves.)  (mm) The bullpen
relievers for Pitcher-Queen, when not in her nonant the Mound, may be exchanged as a turn.  Likewise, any relief pitcher may in  turn be retired from the game with replacement by other Reliever to the square.  The off-board Bull Pen consists of the six:  Champion (RN of Carrera), Nightrider (NN of Dawson), Gryphon (Timur's), Long Leaper (Ultima), Advancer (Rococo), and Cannon/Canon (Jacks & Witches).  Only promotion of Pawn can recover a Queen to the board, but the others are none of them even promotees for Pawn.  The Relief Pitcher does inherit fully the rights inherent in Queen's Mound as her nonant for application of other Mutators.  (nn) 'mm', and relief pitchers are never entitled to use Spitballs like the Queen herself ('m-sub ii'). (oo) 'mm' except Queen may be on the Mound as well (pp) 'oo' except, although Queen may be anywhere, the relievers go to any vacancy on the Mound only.

a movie set, you know, and and if you turned your head fast enough, you
catch God or something changing the scenery...
