-<h1>Chess with Different Armies</h1>
-<p>
-This is actually a group of variants.
-It defines a number of 'armies', each containing of an orthodox King and Pawns,
-plus 7 other pieces of 4 different types.
-The orthodox FIDE army, with pieces Q, R, B and N, is one example of this.
-But there are many armies considting of four completely different pieces,
-together of approximately equal strength as the FIDE army.
-Here we discuss three possible realizations of this.
-</p>
-<p>
-Each of these four armies can be pitted against each of the others,
-with either color.

-<h3>Pawn peculiarities</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Pawns capture differently from how they move (straight move, diagonal capture).</li>
-<li>Pawns can move two squares straight ahead from their initial position, provided they are not blocked.</li>
-<li>On the move immediately after such a double push, they can be captured en passant by another Pawn,
-as if they had only moved 1 square ahead.</li>
-<li>Pawns promote to another (non-royal) piece of choice <b>from their own army</b> when they reach last rank.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>Castling</h3>
-<p>
-A King that has not moved before can (in general) move two squares in the direction of a corner piece that has not moved before,
-in which case that corner piece is moved to the square next to the King on the other side.
-This is only allowed if all squares traveled through by King and corner piece are empty (after their removal),
-when the King is not in check on the square it came from,
-and would not be in check on any of the squares it skipped over.
-When the corner piece is color-bound, however, the King moves 2 <b>or 3 squares</b>, subject to all other rules mentioned above,
-to make sure the piece it castles with stays on the same color.
-</p>
-<h3>General rules</h3>
-<ul>
-<li>Any army can be pitted against any other.</li>
-<li>It is not allowed to expose your King to check.</li>
-<li>The game is won by checkmating the opponent's King.</li>
-<li>Stalemate (no legal moves, but not in check) is a draw.</li>
-</ul>
-<h3>XBoard interface issues</h3>
-<p>
-Man of the pieces in the various army are quite exotic even by the standards of Chess variants,
-and XBoard does not know them.
-So Chess with different Armies has to be played with legality testing off,
-using pieces XBoard does implement for different purposes.
-CwDA is also not an variant name known to XBoard;
-it has to be played as the catch-all variant 'fairy'.
-This variant can mean anything as far as XBoard is concerned;
-you have to tell the engine what you actually want to play,
-and then the engine will tell it to XBoard (i.e. which piece symbols to use, in which initial setup).
-So CwDA cannot be played without an engine that knows how to play it.
-</p>
-<p>
-Fairy-Max implements various versions of CwDA.
-With a combobox in the Engine Settings dialog you can select which version you want to play
-(e.g. Clobberers-Nutters) as variant fairy.
-When you then select 'fairy' from the New Variant dialog
-(or start a New Game when 'fairy' was already selected)
-the engine will setup the game for the selected armies.
-</p>
-<h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
-<p>
-Except for the FIDE army, all armies consist of pieces (not King and Pawns) that move in completely different ways.
-</p>
-<h3>Strategy issues</h3>
-<p>
-It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just a single Bishop or Knight (in addition to your own King).
-Two Knights cannot do that either.
-It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just a single Elephant or C or L (in addition to your own King).
-A pair CC, LL or CL on unlike colors can force checkmate without help of their King.
-A pair of Elephants can checkmate with help of their King.
-It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just a single Fibnif or a pair of them (in addition to your own King).
-All pieces of the Rookies army can force checkmate against a bare King.
-</p>
-<p>
-Bishops, C and L are confined to squares of a single color.
-Having Bishops on both colors compensates this weakness, and is worth an extra 0.5 on top of their added value.
-Combining other color-bound pieces on unlike colors is expected to involve even larger bonuses.

+
+ <h3>Pawn peculiarities</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Pawns capture differently from how they move (straight
+ move, diagonal capture).</li>
+
+ <li>Pawns can move two squares straight ahead from their
+ initial position, provided they are not blocked.</li>
+
+ <li>On the move immediately after such a double push, they can
+ be captured en passant by another Pawn, as if they had only
+ moved 1 square ahead.</li>
+
+ <li>Pawns promote to another (non-royal) piece of choice
+ <b>from their own army</b> when they reach last rank.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Castling</h3>
+
+ <p>A King that has not moved before can (in general) move two
+ squares in the direction of a corner piece that has not moved
+ before, in which case that corner piece is moved to the square
+ next to the King on the other side. This is only allowed if all
+ squares traveled through by King and corner piece are empty
+ (after their removal), when the King is not in check on the
+ square it came from, and would not be in check on any of the
+ squares it skipped over. When the corner piece is color-bound,
+ however, the King moves 2 <b>or 3 squares</b>, subject to all
+ other rules mentioned above, to make sure the piece it castles
+ with stays on the same color.</p>
+
+ <h3>General rules</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Any army can be pitted against any other.</li>
+
+ <li>It is not allowed to expose your King to check.</li>
+
+ <li>The game is won by checkmating the opponent's King.</li>
+
+ <li>Stalemate (no legal moves, but not in check) is a
+ draw.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>XBoard interface issues</h3>
+
+ <p>Man of the pieces in the various army are quite exotic even by
+ the standards of Chess variants, and XBoard does not know them.
+ So Chess with different Armies has to be played with legality
+ testing off, using pieces XBoard does implement for different
+ purposes. CwDA is also not an variant name known to XBoard; it
+ has to be played as the catch-all variant 'fairy'. This variant
+ can mean anything as far as XBoard is concerned; you have to tell
+ the engine what you actually want to play, and then the engine
+ will tell it to XBoard (i.e. which piece symbols to use, in which
+ initial setup). So CwDA cannot be played without an engine that
+ knows how to play it.</p>
+
+ <p>Fairy-Max implements various versions of CwDA. With a combobox
+ in the Engine Settings dialog you can select which version you
+ want to play (e.g. Clobberers-Nutters) as variant fairy. When you
+ then select 'fairy' from the New Variant dialog (or start a New
+ Game when 'fairy' was already selected) the engine will setup the
+ game for the selected armies.</p>
+
+ <h3>Differences with FIDE</h3>
+
+ <p>Except for the FIDE army, all armies consist of pieces (not
+ King and Pawns) that move in completely different ways.</p>
+
+ <h3>Strategy issues</h3>
+
+ <p>It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just
+ a single Bishop or Knight (in addition to your own King). Two
+ Knights cannot do that either. It is not possible to force
+ checkmate on a bare King with just a single Elephant or C or L
+ (in addition to your own King). A pair CC, LL or CL on unlike
+ colors can force checkmate without help of their King. A pair of
+ Elephants can checkmate with help of their King. It is not
+ possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just a single
+ Fibnif or a pair of them (in addition to your own King). All
+ pieces of the Rookies army can force checkmate against a bare
+ King.</p>
+
+ <p>Bishops, C and L are confined to squares of a single color.
+ Having Bishops on both colors compensates this weakness, and is
+ worth an extra 0.5 on top of their added value. Combining other
+ color-bound pieces on unlike colors is expected to involve even
+ larger bonuses.</p>
