| 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 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. |
