Chess variants (10x8)

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)

Grim Reaper:
Bird's array should have the chancellor and archbishop switched.

One source for Bird's setup is: http://www.chessvariants.org/large.dir/bird.html . Is that document wrong?

Obviously ChessV and Smirf agree in the arrangement of this array. I chosed that array to be able to play a 10x8 game against ChessV with SMIRF.

Early matings would be a weakness. But also in Gothic Chess there are possible cooperative mates in 3, so look at following:

FEN: rnbqckabnr/pppppppppp/10/10/10/10/PPPPPPPPPP/RNBQ CKABNR w KQkq - 0 1

Ply Nodes all (x) (e.p.) all (+) (#) Prom. Castl. Sec.
