Re: restart

Zied had e-mailed me a .rar archive of his 'games' directory about a year ago (must have been a link to it on some file-sharing host, as it was rather large).

Re: restart

Oh, apart from Chexx I had all these in my local Jocly git repository already. Did you redo them from scratch?

King + Musketeer piece vs King checkmate-practice applet

I set up an applet where one can practice elementary end-games of King + piece vs King, for many different pieces, including most Musketeer pieces. See http://hgm.nubati.net/rules/EGT.html .
