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 improved to be more attractive. | |
