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

<>How do they compare to Gothic Chess?
Simple. Bigger board => More tactics. (I'm refering to Grand Chess.)
It's a very fun game to play, but the 10x10 board isn't the most appropriate board size for a human to play it in a good level. If you don't care about your level of play though, and you don't care if you make many mistakes and blunders it's very entertaining.
