   7             p A fun place to play chess variants in real time.
   8             p But wait... what is a chess variant?

  10             p.
  11                 As suggested by the picture, a variant setup generally looks
  12                 more or less like a chessboard with regular pieces
  13                 (otherwise it's no longer a variant but a whole new game).
  14             p.emphasis.purple However...
  15             p Each variant has its own new rules, which can involve
  16             table.list-table
  17                 tbody
  18                     tr
  19                         td * different pieces movements
  20                     tr
  21                         td * different chessboard(s)
  22                     tr
  23                         td * new pieces
  24                     tr
  25                         td * moves side effects
  26                     tr
  27                         td ...and so on

  30                 Example: imagine that a capture is an atomic explosion, wiping all
  31                 adjacent squares &ndash; except the pawns, which as cockroaches can
  32                 resist this kind of event.
  33             p Also state a goal: make the opponent's king explode.
  34             p &rarr; Congrats, you defined Atomic chess! (Playable here)

  38             p.
  39                 Because all games here start with a random setup: no more boring
  40                 openings memorization, you have to rely on your chess skills only.
  41                 No game is like another one.
