Aside from trying to reconstruct the original Marseillais Chess, I would like to propose a game I might call Simplified Marseillais Chess, which is designed with programming it in mind. It would follow the rule of Balanced Marseillais Chess of giving White only one move at the start of the game, it would allow en passant capture only of a Pawn moved on the last part of a player's turn, it would have a turn end with one move if there were no legal moves to follow it, and it would work with normal stalemate and checkmate on a player's first move. I think those are the main differences from regular Marseillais Chess. Is there anything I have overlooked?
