| 3 | Website to play to many chess variants, including rare ones - some almost never seen |
| 4 | elsewhere, like "l'Échiqueté" [french], renamed "checkered chess" in english. |

| 6 | ## Usage |
| 7 | |
| 8 | I hope it's intuitive enough :) |
| 9 | |
| 10 | But, a few important points: |
| 11 | - All games start with a random assymetric position! |
| 12 | - Games are untimed: you decide to play fast or not... |
| 13 | - Your identity (if filled) is revealed only after the game |
