From now on, you may use it as your own piece. The king may never be captured, but can be recruited back by your opponent at any time. The queen moves just like the king. When the game begins, the queen is unactivated. This means that she can't be moved and can't be captured, and no piece may be placed on the "sárggis" where she stands. She may be activated by using a sáhkku (X). Her activation move may be up, down, left, or right - dependent on what moves are legal for her in the concrete situation. Unlike the king, the queen can be captured just like an ordinary soldier. If you lose your queen, you have lost the game. There may be several active soldiers on one "sárggis", but all of them are captured if an enemy piece is moved onto the "sárggis" where they stand. A royal piece may "not" share a "sárggis" with any other piece. The only exception to this rule is that you can move your soldier or queen onto a "sárggis" occupied by the enemy-controlled king, upon which you recruit the king. In no other circumstance is it legal to move another piece onto a "sárggis" occupied by a royal piece, or to move a royal piece onto a "sárggis" currently occupied by a piece that is part of its own army. The rule stating that a royal piece cannot share a "sárggis" with another piece in its own army, and the above mentioned rule stating that a "sárggis" where an unactivated piece stands may not be entered by any active piece, have the effect that royal pieces are not very mobile in the beginning of a sáhkku game, but as pieces are activated or captured, the royal pieces become increasingly free to move around on the board. This version of sáhkku is traditional both to the Vuovdaguoika area in Ohcejohka on the Finnish side of Sápmi, and by the fiord Gávkevuotna near North Cape on the Norwegian side of Sápmi. It is likely that it was played in several other locations between these two villages. Unlike Lágesvuotna sáhkku, which is a reconstructed game, and Návuotna sáhkku, the rules of which were written down before the game went out of play for some decades - this variant of sáhkku has been transferred between the generations in an unbroken line until today.
