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)
题目: Re: Why would any need a license to make and sell game sets that could be used for Gothic Chess playing?
Walter, with all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about, which is why I asked to have a discussion OUTSIDE of this BBS regarding the patent.
You can't build your own Monopoly game and sell it, nor your own Clue game, nor Battleship.
It's called a METHOD PATENT which protects the game in total, not the decompartmentalized boards and individual pieces.
Your statements about what I "own" are 100% incorrect, and I will not argue with someone that doesn't know what they are talking about.
I will not reply to any more posts on this DB about the Patent. You can either talk to a patent attorney, or talk to me via personal message.
