This is a very simple although interesting variant. The two bishops and
Knights of each bands are numbered 1 or 2. At the begining of the game,
each player annotates in a paper which of the two enemy Bishops or Knights
is the player´s Secret Agent (only one enemy piece). In every moment of
the game, the player may, as a move, change the color of the Secret Agent
and move it in the same turn, and the enemy piece changes to friend piece
for the rest of the game. Try it!

Roberto, are you talking about Ralph Betza's game <a href='../large.dir/secretagent.html'>Secret Agent</a>? If so, we already have a page for it <a href='../large.dir/secretagent.html'>here</a>.

Well, that´s right, I have not known that this idea was first thought by
Ralph Betza. The game play is very nice, I have tried it yesterday night
against my son. Ralph, it is a very interesting game. Excuse me if I were
confused and I have show the idea without an author. All the credit is
yours!.
