Yeah, I did finally figure that out. Thanks. :)

I've even managed to try a couple of games. They were fast and brutal, with me on the losing end in 10 turns or fewer; but then, I think a standard chess game would probably come out the same. (I'm very rusty.) I'd love to hear from anyone else choosing to give it a try.

(The computer's opening gambit of choice seems to be releasing the King's Rhino into the Queen's side and letting it wreak havoc. I'm thinking of swapping its position with the Eagle.)
