Mystery Chess looks very good CV with strategy to figure out which piece is over-attacking or over-protected and likely to be the Mystery piece. There are only about 30 chess games of incomplete information recorded. Kriegspiel itself and Bario are the best known ones. Betza's I.I. game, <a href="http://www.chessvariants.com/incinf.dir/touring-chess.html">Touring</a>, is just satire not really playable, because there is no way for player to develop what a given fixed tour is, or even part of a tour. Player can only get one move from one cell at a time, according to what the umpire says. As in small percentage about 10% of his games Betza has no serious intent here, just having fun with the idea of turning a "touring move" over to the moderator. Basically in Betza's Touring Chess, a touring move is a nearly random move. Frolov has couple recent imperfect information CVs to look at in another comment. <p>On the other hand, when a strong piece overplayed gets trapped, player can declare a Touring Move and let the Moderator's information get him out of trouble. Yet so far there has been no game played of Touring Chess, so til proven otherwise it can be considered betzan-unplayable -- unlike clever Mystery Chess.
