-Fairy-Max is a derivative from the World's smallest Chess program
+Fairy-Max is a derivative from the once World's smallest Chess program
micro-Max, which measures only about 100 lines of source code. The
main difference with micro-Max is that Fairy-Max loads its

-therefore play a lage number of variants, normal Chess being one of
-those. In addition it plas Knightmate, Capablanca and Gothic Chess,

+those. In addition it plays Knightmate, Capablanca and Gothic Chess,
Shatranj, Courier Chess, Cylinder chess, Berolina Chess, while the user

other tortious action, arising out of or in connection with the use or
performance of this software.
