# Alice in Wonderland Chess

         Prepare for one of the strangest experiences of
    your life!  You are about to play a game in which the
    pieces move as they do in normal chess -- except for
    the fact that every time that they move, they fall into
    a "rabbit hole".  As you have already seen, there are
    two board in this game.  When a piece is moved on the
    top board, it moves to its new square on the top board
     -- but then it "falls" to the same new square on the
    bottom board.  Since we are in Wonderland, things also
    fall _up_.  Thus if you make a move with a piece on the
    bottom board, it winds up on the _top_ board.
         In order to capture an opposing piece, both pices
    must be on the *same* board.  After the capture, the cap-
    turing piece will "fall" to the other board, but it can't
    fall onto a piece to capture it. (Read this again, it is
    important).  Press NEXT to learn how to indicate your
    move so that PLATO will understand it.
