   4   This website was born after Patrick Bernier told me about
   5   a variant he invented: l'Échiqueté ('Checkered' here), which involves
   6   pieces that both sides can play.
   7   Back in 2012, I developed a small website allowing to play this variant
   8   by correspondance.
   9   A few years later I had a prototype to play in live, then other variants
  10   were added.

  12 h3 Notes

  14 p ELO rating is purposely absent from this website.
  15
  16 p.
  17   Games start by default with a random asymmetric position.
  18   Random symmetric or even deterministic positions are available too,
  19   if you prefer more fairness (but also less fun? :-P ).
