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 then 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 and the website was made more attractive.

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 less fun? :-P ).
