Twilight chess is interesting.  I think the page is not quite clear how the
50-move draw rule works with pawn warping.  I guess, technically, warping a
pawn is moving a pawn, so it resets the 50-move counter.  But pawn moves
normally reset the counter because they are non-reversable.  Now I guess
all pawn moves are reversable because warping allows them to go backwards. 
I'm not sure I like this.  The non-reversability of pawn moves is one of
the defining characteristics of Chess.
