Subject: Re:
rabbitoid: many players (me also) capture the opponent's queens first, because they are most mobile. rabbitoid's rule generalizes this (maximize your moves and minimize those of your opponent). Besides from that, I don't know any strategic rules for the opening and middle game (this is probably why I'm not good at the game).

In the endgame, it is all tactics: calculate the order of your moves so that you can make the last capture.

Justaminute: ooops! Indeed I made the game private, I didn't think about this. Is there a way to show the game anyway? If not, you have to trust me or try yourself...

(OTOH this is good luck: no one will see how I have bungled the presumably mating move #20)

I have tested how it is implemented: Ice Age takes precedence over mate: game

(See also before move 20 of black )
