And thus in playing these four players take from one another like the
seasons of the year which also take from one
another.
Each of these four players should make an opening wager. Thereafter
for each piece that a player loses he should pay an
amount as well as for each check given to a King. When a player is
checkmated he pays the victor an amount for as
many pieces as he has on the board and then removes his pieces. Of
the three players that remain thereafter, the first to
be defeated leaves on the board as much as he has won and an amount
for each of his pieces that remain when he is
checkmated. Of the two remaining players, the one who wins takes all
the money on the board plus the loser gives him
an amount for each of his remaining pieces. This is what the board
and pieces look like as well as their arrangement,
painted here."
