Info Chess - ECCO Links

Thanks goes out to Brian Train for pointing me to these links on Info Chess, as any form of online reference seems somewhat illusive to pin down (see below, I don't think a definitive or comprehensive set publicly exists [neither free or for sale]): 


ECCO

https://nps.edu/web/ecco/infochess

https://nps.edu/documents/110773463/121843894/InfoChess+Instructions.pdf

https://nps.edu/documents/110773463/121842570/ECCO+Facilitator+Worksheets.pdf

Naval War College (NWC)

https://nps.edu/documents/110773470/121704572/Handout+of+Infochess.pdf

For the uninitiated Info Chess is a Fog of War style of Chess, where players choose (or rather army build) their own sides chess set and can buy special properties to "power up" the pieces. Invisibility, Scanning and Turning pieces are all integral parts of the standard play of Info Chess.

Note [1]: This is not to be confused with XTR Command Magazine War Master Chess 2000 in Issue#49  https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/12691/warmaster-chess-2000

Note[2]: Promises of signing up for an online game seem to be stalled sadly in a "Work in Progress" state.

Note[3]: The "other" ECCO games are of interest too!
