Daniel King: "After the Timman game I'm going to mess with your head. Deep Mind have just released a new paper exploring chess variants with the help of AlphaZero. I'm looking at one of those games featuring Torpedo Chess, in which pawns are allowed to move two squares, but not just from their starting positions. Mindblowing and good fun!"
