Hnefi is fist
Tafl is ches
Hnefatafl is thus fist cehss
Tafl is pronounced tabl and then the connection table is straight
forward.
I have to say that the number of games available in the APL world has
increased.
In the past I have been missing Gui games in Apl but now there are
several.
This Chess table (we say Taflbor=F0 and bor=F0 means table so it is then
tabletable) in Dyalog looks very good.
I really like the Arachnid solitaire that comes (as an .exe) with
Dyalog.
Best solitaire I have seen
