What is a siege? How is it different from a normal game? How do you win a siege? How do you lose a siege?

FAQ

There was a Knight in his castle. Some day another Knight arrived and challenged him. They fought out a joust, the winner now living happily in said castle until a new challenger arrives....

* 1. subscribe

* 2. challenge a siege board (could occur that you have to queue up if somebody came up with the same splendid idea before you.

* as challenger you play white. If you win or draw as challenger the borad is yours to be defended if anybody else comes along challenging you on the siege board

I don't even see "siege" in FAQ

▓ Are they unrated
▓ Is it basically, you try to hold a board as long as possible
▓ How many games / board.

I've never even heard of a siege til now, and wo and behold I see the tab 😛
