  Antichess: Design Document
Antichess is a variant of chess in which the goal is to either lose all of your pieces (except your king) or checkmate your opponent.
A related variant of Antichess, referred to here as Anti-King Antichess, consists of Antichess with the addition of an anti-king playing piece for each player which functions as a king but is considered to be in check whenever it is not under attack by an opponent piece.
In antichess, the stalemated player loses his turn, and the opposing player may continue to take turns until the stalemate is broken or the game is won.

 Antichess
Antichess, also called Suicide chess is a chess variant in which the objective is to lose all of your pieces or force your opponent to checkmate you.
There are variants in which the king is not a special piece (thus, one wins by losing all pieces including the king) and a statemate results in a win for the player who has no move.
Because of the forced capture rule, antichess games often have a long sequence of forced captures by one player.

The rules of antichess would then be implemented via an antichess referee, which would be able to both generate and validate antichess moves for a given game.
By the end of the first weekend, Darrin had an antichess ref which knew most of the rules of the game (except for check situations); I had implemented the base-level position, move, and game data types, and had hacked a rudimentary web interface to allow the user to make moves.
Because the same base-level data types were used to implement both antichess and checkers, most of the web handlers worked trivially for both types of games; a few required minor modification to decide which type of computer player to register as the human's opponent.

Your antichess application must be able to play games with either the traditional rules, or the new mind control rules.
Moves for mind control antichess contain two moves in the traditional format separated by a comma, for example, "e2-e4,e7-e5" or "e1-d1,h8-h7".
Your GUI is not required to allow mouse-driven moves when playing Mind Control Antichess: you should already have a textual interface within the GUI, and this textual interface must be able to accept the new move format, and only the new format, when playing Mind Control games.
