In addition, if we add Adjutant pieces (in a particular variant), then exciting new combinations will crop up. It is entertaining to play against a ZoG program and try the capabilities of a new piece, such as the Adjutant. /Mats Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Modest variants does not match any item.
