Notes

Alice Chess is a popular variant where the pieces, like Lewis Carroll's heroine, go "through the looking glass" to a Mirror board and then back to a Normal board. Curiouser and curiouser, you can use a single board to represent the Normal and Mirror boards at the same time. This ZRF uses a single board for Alice Chess. It was written in 1999 for the original version of Zillions. It does not implement en passant or castling. The file contains five variants: <ul> <li>Alice Chess The variant invented by V.R. Parton in 1953</li> <li>Alice Mirror Black pieces start on the Mirror board</li> <li>Alice Zero Pieces can switch board while staying on the same square</li> <li>Alice Grand An Alice version of Christian Freeling's Grand Chess</li> <li>Alice Extinction An Alice version of Extinction Chess</li> </ul>

For whatever reason, the What's New? text for this page is not showing up on the What's New? page. I fixed the directory structure of the zip file. This ZRF plays Alice Chess on a single board.
