There seems to be no article about Jean-Louis Cazaux' Metamachy on CVP. Yet it seems a quite interesting large variant. Shall I make one?

    (Doing this game actually revealed a bug in the JavaScript code for the diagram: Betza 'n' (non-jumping) leaps would actually leap over virgin pieces, as the Prince revealed. I fixed that now. Another problem is that such lame leaps only created e.p. rights if the were initial moves; this is the first game I encountered where a rights-creating double push is not limited to virgin pieces. I solved that by making both 'in' and 'nn' imply e.p. capturability.)

    Block quote

    Second paragraph in block quote

    First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

    Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

    Secondary Header: <H2>

    • Unordered list item
    • Second unordered list item
    • New unordered list
      • Nested list item

    Third Level header <H3>

    1. An ordered list item.
    2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
    3. A third ordered list item.
    Here is some preformatted text.
      This line begins with some indentation.
        This begins with even more indentation.
    And this line has no indentation.
