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)
Your wrong BBW. The configuration of the game is what is protected, and the rules. The name is not patented at all. It is a registered trademark.
You can rename every piece, leave notation off the sides of the board, whatever you want, but if you sell it with rules that are the same as Gothic Chess, you violated the patent.
I am not getting into arguments with people that have no intention of doing anything with Gothic Chess. I already have two wins under my belt and one out of court win.
I think you are both full of crap.
If you really want to test me, send me your address, openly admit you are challenging my patent and intend to sell the game, sell one set to someone, and watch what happens next.
END OF PUBLIC DISCUSSION.
Send me private messages with your addresses and your intention to do what you said, or you are all full of crap.
