Turncoat Chess

If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play Turncoat Chess here.
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

One square is chosen at random after each move. If there is a unit, except a king, on that square, the unit changes sides.

Since this is a computer rather than a physical chess set, units can turn regardless of what is already off the board.

I decided that a unit that turns cannot capture the enemy king immediately afterwards.
