Werewolf Chess. An nearly invincible, but bribable Werewolf replaces the Queen. (8x8, Cells: 64)

Yeah, at some point I had included all style instructions directly in the style property of the HTML elements that the betza.js JavaScript generates, and the separate style file became redundant. So I removed it. I guess this page was made before that happened.

I removed this line, because the file didn't exist:

It appears the CVP website has been switched from http to https. Since the piece images are on my own website, which is http, the browser now refuses to display them.

In this case I can easily fix it, because the same piece set probably is somewhere on the CVP website, and if not, can be uploaded as user graphics. But the same problem will now manifest itself in other places. In particular, the 'Diagram Editor with Scalable Graphics' will be broken. This refers to a C program on my own website thar dynamically generates piece images according to specification, and now also is no longer accessible. So far Fergus did not manage to compile the same program for the CVP website, so that it could run there.

[Edit] Interesting. On my PC with FireFox all this works. Perhaps I have switched off this pedantic security feature there; I don't really remember.

The piece images are not showing up on the diagram for this game

Fairy-Max cannot do a Werewolf because it does not support double capture. But I did manage to make a derivative that implements contageon. And I used it to play a contageous Queen against a non-contageous one. The contageous Queen clearly won this (58% with white in 100 games, 56% with black out of 80 games).

The most obvious advantage of the contageous Queen is that it cannot easily be chased away: when it is protected by a Pawn it has to be attacked twice before it has to worry.
