I have just created a Capablanca Random Chess tournament (Capablanca!). Single elimination. 1 win match. 7 days per move and standard vacation. Only rated players.

I am interested in buying a Capablanca Random Chess (or a Gothic Chess). Do you know where can I buy one? I know that the author of Gothic Chess sells them, but I live in Spain and the delivery is too expensive. Do you know a web, place, etc., closer? Thanks and Happy New Year!
WhiteTower: I can´t believe what I read... A typo is a typo. I wrote Cablanca; it was a mistake without importance. I really know how Capablanca is written better than people that don´t speak Spanish...
Chessmaster1000: Yes, you are right. Gothic Chess is a good game, but a game is not only the board and pieces. There are other things that influence the game. Imagine that I launch a standard chess club and I have to pay money to FIDE (or to the national organization) for the right to play in it... This restrict the possibilites of standard chess and, of course the possibilities of my club, and it would be horrible, in my opinion. Anyway, I prefer playing both games (CRC and Gothic Chess), but I think it is not possible...
Chessmaster1000: Well, first of all, I can see the difference between a horse and a donkey. I am not stupid. Second, I believe that CRC is better because of a simple reason: the patent. I am a chess tournament director and I don´t have to ask for permission when I launch a tornament... Anyway, this is an opinion, like yours. I didn´t pretend to offend... I just wanted to write my point of view.
I can´t wait the day the Capablanca Random Chess will be available. Sincerely, I don´t see any differences between Gothic Chess and Capablanca Random Chess, except some pieces and a patent.
