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. | |
0d5c9d32 | 7 | Back in 2012, I developed a small website allowing to play this variant |
fcbc92c2 BA |
8 | by correspondance. |
9 | A few years later I had a prototype to play in live, then other variants | |
0d5c9d32 | 10 | were added. |

17 | Games start by default with a random asymmetric position. | |
18 | Random symmetric or even deterministic positions are available too, | |
