   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 improved to be more attractive.
