Marsellais chess has a rule where each player moves 2 pieces in the same turn. Castling is considered a single move. All other castling rules apply.

Now that Game Courier supports viewing past moves without loading a new page for each move, it has become easier to annotate games. So, I played a sample game of Marseillais Chess against myself, then annotated it in one window while viewing it in another. I also made some fixes to the code for generating an HTML form after annotating a game. I have included the game on this page as one more example game.

I have not played this game personally, but I must say, for a multi-move variant, this game was very well-made.

Also, the new circle symbol in GC for past moves is very nice. However, this functionality doesn't seem to work with hexagonal boards (like Hex Shogi 91's).

I have now added it, but it reverses the significance of the circular and square borders, as I was already using circular borders for hexagonal boards. So, the general rule is that the border shape best fitting the shape of the space is the main one, and the other border shape may be for earlier moves (as in Marseillais Chess) or side effects (as in Hex Shogi 91).
