A unique board game where the rules and possibilities of the pieces have been fine-tuned by artificial intelligence using special genetic algorithms. It has simple rules, yet allows an unimaginable number of combinations and strategies. Various graphics options, difficulty levels and other settings are available. At any moment, a position can be shuffled randomly to get an original position on the board.

Rules: The object of the game is to take the king from your opponent. There is a 7x7 board with 6 types of pieces.

• Row pawn can move to all sides and diagonally by 1 square
• Knight with diagonal swords can move any number of squares, but only diagonally (like a bishop in chess)
• A knight with a cross can move by any number of squares, but only orthogonally (like a rook in chess)
• Lower lotus (bronze) can move up to 2 squares orthogonally, but can jump over other pieces
• Higher lotus (gold) can move up to 3 squares orthogonally, also skipping figures King can move 1 square in all directions, but not back; cannot pick up anyone (can only dodge)

Figures can cancel each other out. A tie occurs if no piece is eliminated within 10 moves.
