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

The thought had occurred to me to hold the first official World Championship online here at BrainKing. Previously we have only had National Tournaments, held in Philadelphia. But with the convenience of being able to play online, we might as well test the format and see if players would like to do this.
The play would be for the title of Gothic Chess World Champion, a trophy, and money; all things a World Champion should have!
despite travelling around drunk, I shall do my utmost to come away with some points. You guys did some good advertising. There are a lot of unrated players in the tournament. I wonder if I got seeded during the draw.
Anyway, I thought Spiderman from UK was someone I has heard of. Might be a different person. The one I know doesn't usually drop three games in a row.
