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)
Don't get me wrong... I actually like Gothic Chess! And I think it will succeed up to a point, though not necessarily for the reasons surrounding draws as stated in the Ed's paper. I'd like to be upfront about why it's a good game, and I think it's got a slightly better chance of public success if the thing about the draws is NOT pushed as it has been in the past.
