I have updated Glenn's original WOTN (Way of the Knight) .zrf to fix all of the bugs I found in the .zrf playtesting it; and to add a number of variants to the game (I am one of those people who feels it is kinda lame to have a zrf with only one or two options in the "variants" menu).

Way of the Knight is a chess variant where pieces promote after most captures which they perform. This discourages exchanges, resulting in shorter, sharper games of chess. While a drawn endgame is rare in this game, endgames have the additional challenge of forcing the player with material to come up with novel, non-standard checkmates.

The file is available at http://www.samiam.org/chessvariants/wotn2final.zip

If anyone has problems using this program, please email me. My email address is available at http://www.samiam.org/ssi/mailme.shtml
