Chess Engine: FaileKM 1.4.6 JA 
Author      : Adrien Regimbald
Website     : http://faile.sourceforge.net



A version of Faile that plays
the chess variant 'Nightrider'.  

Nightrider Chess is identical to regular chess except that 
the knight (nightrider) can make long moves in the same direction 
like bishops and rooks.

All other rules are the same as regular chess. 
   

Version 1.4.6 
--------------
Changed Faile to use variant fairy and set knights 
to use 'h' instead of 'n' piece representation internally.



Version 1.4.5
-------------
1. Fixed error in Nightrider conversion



Instuctions
-------------

1. To play 'Nightrider' chess download H.G Muller's modified Winboard chess gui,

Just install as a standard winboard chess engine.

Start WinBoard_F and in the command-line options
box put this switch >

/variant=fairy 

and remember to switch off legality checking.
