   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 more or less
  12         like a chessboard with regular pieces (otherwise it's no longer a variant
  13         but a whole new game).
  14       p.emphasis.purple However...
  15       p Each variant has its own new rules, which can involve

  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.

  37         | OK, this all sounds interesting, but why would that be fun?
  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.
