Mister Albillo had his interesting Web pages about his so-called Bizarre Chess stored since 1998 in a free server, but unfortunately, that server went out of activity in the early 2000s.
Then Mister Albillo did not find another server, and he kept for twenty years his Bizarre Chess only with himself, unknown to the World.
Recently he has converted his old Web pages to Adobe Portable Document Format, and re-published them after that hiatus of twenty years.
The old hyper link given by him obviously is dead, but as of late 2022 this other hyper link is working perfectly:
https://albillo.hpcalc.org/files/misc/chesstests
Each page has been made into a different PDF, available for download. There are twenty in total and not heavier than 300 Kilobytes each. They contain astonishing examples of weird situations on the board, and comments made by important authorities.
The old hyper links do not work in the PDFs. Mister Albillo has chosen to preserve the flavour of an era in the History of Chess and Computing, out of a nostalgic feeling for a time that is 'Gone with the Wind'.
The Illustrious Members of Chess Variants will certainly find engaging material in those pages. Especially those of us who love the History of our Noble Game.
