-  This website was born after Patrick Bernier told me about
-  a variant he invented, called 'l'Échiqueté', which involves mixed pieces,
-  half-black and half-white. Back then in 2012, I developed a small website
-  allowing to play by correspondance with this variant only. I already had
-  in mind other variants to be added to the website, 'Zen chess' being the
-  first on the list because it changed so much the thinking process that I
-  was very curious to play it.
+h3 History
 
 p.
-  After a long break, a prototype website allowing to play
-  live games was tested in the end of 2017, with only a few players.
-  One year later the first version of the final website was published:
-  it offered three modes, against a human, a computer engine or analyzing,
-  with about twenty variants available. The current website is a more modern
-  rewriting of this initial version: it now has the basic features expected
-  from a chess playing website :)
+  This website was born after Patrick Bernier told me about
+  a variant he invented: l'Échiqueté ('Checkered' here), which involves
+  pieces that both sides can play.
+  Back then in 2012, I developed a small website allowing to play this variant

-  From the main Hall, you can see and talk to online players,
-  send and accept challenges (live or correspondance), and also watch current
-  games. If this is your first contact with chess variants, you probably should
-  start with the 'Variants' page from the top menu: it explains all the rules
-  and allows to observe sample games or play against basic bots. Finally,
-  at any moment in a game you can click on the 'Analyze' button to analyze
-  the position. Try not to do that in live games, your opponent would know ;)
