I was on that website today.

First, I thought "Kissing the Queen" was for real.
Then I saw more crazy stuff.
Then I looked at the date :wink: .
I am surprised that the "Senterej" stuff is not dated 01.04.2009.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Code: Select all

what is really special about Senterej is that at the start, before the first capture is made, both players can move their pieces as many times as they like, without concern for the opponent's moves. Even spectators can intervene.
Even spectators can intervene ?
That is the strangest thing about it.

True...It's not a game I'd enjoy.
