BTW new font works fine for light themes, but dark users are also here…) and previous comment applies to dark themes. Maybe they incorrectly interpret it?

Weak computer opponent, weaker than Zillions of Games. (ID = Interactive Diagram, J = Jocly, Li = LiChess, Lu = Ludii)

I can also notice that there’s LiShogi site (can be abbreviated like Ls) which can play Kyoto Shogi; and also all variants marked with #Lichess tag are playable against Lichess Stockfish, which isn’t noted in Weak section in the table (exc. for Atomic chess).

bruh you posted Tarantula with same move when T was added

my advice is to change Tarantula’s move to T only, because bird with KT is more realistic

Rocket, which is square interpretation of Zip on cluster cell in Rocket Chess, which is mentioned earlier, moves as following:

In other words: forward Rook, forward sidemost Zip, backward narrow Electrician.

Otherwise it has a simpler version which is forward Rook, backward Bishop and forward sidemost Nightrider:

For me, light brown text in brown Dark mode is significantly less readable. And comments’ text is still white and readable.

  1. What is with fonts? Almost all fonts are now Georgia. Exception is Game Courier logs page which keeps previous fonts.
  2. For me dark theme doesn’t work.
  3. Markers for Private and Members-Only are disabled. There’s no way to distinguish published pages and WIPs with unpubs.

What the flame with fonts on the site?!!
