| 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 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. |

| 12 | h3 Notes |
| 13 | |
| 14 | p ELO rating is purposely absent from this website. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | p. |
| 17 | Most games can start from three initial setups: deterministic |
| 18 | (the usual one), or random – symmetric or not. |
