The idea is to support them all. But I have to develop a way to configure
the server for which variants to support. Perhaps the logical way to do it
would be to group them all under the category 'capablanca', and then have
sub-categories ('boards') for 'capablanca', 'embassy', 'carrera',
etc. The server currently triggers on the category name for deciding what
board size to use, becaue that ws the easiest way to do it for a quick
pilot experiment. I want to change that by something in the files that
describes the position, e.g. board=10x8. The server code could then be
completely oblivious of which variant uses which board. The same for other
rules.
