Net Chess: It's an interesting concept, but the Z engine plays it very
badly. Zillions programmers should know that there are simple methods of
tweaking which makes the program play much better. Most of my chess zrf:s
have been tweaked in order to function. It's a great waste that
programmers implement chess varaints but don't bother to make them play
well. In this case the engine always puts pieces on the intersections
because they cannot be captured there. On the other hand they are useless
there. So, for instance, one could punish this move by flipping an
invisible piece beside the board.
(BTW, I have now tweaked my Harpy Chess to play better.)
