In the coming year, we will play, "EN UN COUP" (take the English meaning), the mother of all battles: develop, discover and enforce "The Game of Kings 2..0". Remember Szun-TZU: “好一般已经赢了，搞战斗前” Facing the sclerotic and often corrupt world of chess 1.0, a new generation of Chessvarianter's raising the head, including the front against cyber-Machine (Tremble, DEEP-GLUE, Human-Brain is back !!!)
