In addition to the boring probability n chess discussion, which I didn't read.

After playing some matches, I think the computer makes some mistakes. seems like a beta version. He ran into checkmate despite having some other possibilities imo. whatever. check it out....

Really? I just beat this game on my first attempt. And I'm not much of a chess player.

Did you click the link and even give it a shot? Or did you just blather some nonsense opinion like everyone else on 4?

However, it won't break the rules -- you can't end up with three queens, for example.

this, and the fact that there is a white square in the bottom left, don't fill me with confidence.

Wow, this. Both Queens are on the wrong squares as a result, totally changing every standard strategy. Maybe that doesn't matter in this weird variant.

Quite the opposite, square color is of greatly increased importance in this variant...
