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

Относно: Re: Gothic Chess and Bird's Chess flaw in the initial set up
Walter Montego: I don't like the way moving one pawn opens an attack with a bishop without ever moving the bishop. Chess does not have this. The only starting position on an 8 x 10 board that eliminates this would be putting the bishops at E1 & F1. I'm sure everyone agrees that this is not good. My proposal is to play on a 10 x 10 board. This keeps everything Ed & others like about the Gothic setup and eliminates the flaw.
