I have recently received some emails on the possibility of implementing
Bughouse for Zillions of Games. Let me say here that this is impossible.
The asynchronous nature of Bughouse makes it impossible to implement
Bughouse for Zillions of Games. In order to accomodate Bughouse, Zillions
of Games would have to be updated to allow asynchronous communication
between two separately running games. At present, it does not allow any
communication between separately running games, whether synchronous or
asynchronous.

However, the synchronous version of Bughouse, the one that can be played
by email, has been implemented by Karl Scherer as Transfer Chess. It can
be found at this URL:
