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)
ColonelCrockett: It is planned to build in a kind of initial randomizer. Actually in the starting stage suggested shown optimal moves are not fixed and often exchanged. So stopping the engine manually could also produce a kind of move distribution. But after the first opponent's moves SMIRF is mostly within a new game line. Playing CRC or Chess960/FRC will generate different games simply by selecting randomly a mostly different starting array.
