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)
Download this, install it, then select the FILE menu, NEW GAME, then pick Gothic Chess from the radio buttons.
Under the SETTINGS menu, select PIECES, then GOTHIC CHESS PIECES, and you are ready to play a live game against someone over the internet without needing a server!
You will have to configure your settings by adding your IP address into a field, but the program will help you get your IP address.
Then you can wait for connections to accept games with you.
Maybe all who have successfully installed it can post what times they will be online looking for games, as well as their IP addresses.
