Hermit Chess

Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

You play White. Red moves randomly. The number of red moves per turn varies from two to eleven in serial games. Red may not check, and need not escape check, until the last move. Karl Scherer, 2001. I playtested this and decided that bare king has to lose, and stalemate loses for Red.
