book, that was for every move right from the start. That was too long to
wait for a fairly poor level of challenge so I gave up on it and made a
set with the boards layed out on the table in 2D. A bit of practise allowed
us to map the boards up and down by eye okay and I had a few games with
my friend Paul. I might have another go at writing a program; my computer
might actually be up to it now.
The Dragonchess game
gets a fair but of coverage on the Chess Variants boards.
