Line 38:

''Optimized Chess'' is offered in two opening setups that are east-west transpositions of the same game or mirror-image symmetrical equivalents of one another termed "mirror I" and "mirror II". In practice, "mirror I" is typically preferred by players of [[Chess]] due its familiar relative placement of the king and queen (i.e., with the king east of the queen).

''Optimized Chess'' is supported by the two most powerful, multi-variant programs available in the chess variant world. It was selected as one out of only eight 8H x 10W board games featured in [[SMIRF]] (developed by [[Reinhard Scharnagl]]). It was selected as one out of only eleven 8H x 10W board games featured in [[ChessV]] (developed by Gregory Strong). In both programs, its "mirror I" opening setup can conveniently, automatically be loaded for play against a computer opponent.
