1 h3 History
2
3 p.
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 ).
