9 | Before every move, players see only what their pieces can reach. |
10 | That is to say: empty squares where your pieces can go, | |
11 | but also occupied squares where captures can be made. | |
12 | For example on the illustration next, after 1.e4 d5 white sees a black | |
13 | pawn on d5, the squares e5, f5, h5, b5, a6 and all four first ranks. | |
14 | The f5 square is visible (and empty) because of the | |
15 | special case of pawn capture. | |

23 | Choose your move carefully, based on what you can infer from the |
24 | opponent's past moves. Counting material is important. | |
25 | Be careful to block the attacking lines toward your king too. | |
26 | Good luck! | |

29 | Note: the bot is not cheating - it really uses only the information |
30 | described earlier. Moreover, it is very basic and clearly less | |
31 | challenging that a human. But it may be a fun start :) | |

40 | | I discovered this variant on |
41 | a(href="https://www.buho21.com/") Buho21 | |
42 | | , which is a nice website but its spirit is very different than here | |
43 | | (ranking system, VIP membership or ads, etc.). | |
44 | | It seemed to be the only place to play DarkChess in live. |
