Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
Speaking of Vortex... I finally got around to PGN import. Also has the complete 3-piece tablebases, which are the same for Janus Chess.
Longest mate is 21 moves for King + Janus vs. King, and it is not easy to solve! There is a new menu in Vortex, SPECIAL, with RANDOM 3-PIECE CHECKMATE as an item. This has some of the longest mates setup randomly.
