Engines Playing Musketeer Chess

[musketeerchess]

Musketeer Chess is a chess variant played on an 8x8 board using a classic chess set. Difference is adding 2 non classic pieces that are introduced in reserve squares on a virtual 0 and 9 line (line allowed only to place these new pieces). After that, the new pieces are Added to the game when the classic piece in front of it first moves (for example the new piece is in C0 square then it's first introduced when the Bishop C1 first moves. The new piece is then placed on the C1 square).

Thanks to HG Muller and others, engines are currently being developed for this chess variant. Winboard is the GUI where these engines are used.
