Emne: Great Chess 10x10

The >Great Chess 10x10 was invented in Germany by Erwin Ortlauf and first published in the German chess magazine `ROCHADE Europa` 08/1997 as "Das Grosse Schach 10x10".It has some new pieces and looks complicated but also interesting.
All who are interested can read the rules and download a small application to test the game here !

I think my brain would explode trying to keep a track of what pieces were being attacked and how ... gothic and janus chess are hard enough for me ... but you are right, it does look interesting.

:) Whisperz,that`s why this variation is not very prevalent until yet. But I can say after some time you can become familiar also with these new pieces..
Btw I have the real pieceset of this game and you can see some pics on my page Caissus Chess
