Stephen, to create a 4-handed chess program that you can use as an
interface to play over the Internet is easy in Zillions. However, it's
not easy to make the engine play a good game of 4-handed chess. It's much
better at 2-handed chess.

I don't understand the argument that it allows a fools mate. Fide-
chess also allows a fools mate in two moves. But it still the best setup. BTW,
there is no fool's mate in Capablanca's chess.

(There is some problem with this message board software because it allows too 
long lines. Line break doesn't seem to work sometimes. I had to manually insert 
some CRs  in order not to exceed line length.)
