Okay something "on topic": Does anybody know or can compose a chessproblem with the new pieces?
But attention,in the literature the new pieces rook/knight and bishop/knight sometimes have other names as "chancellor" or "archbishop".
I am interested to see an othodox problem with a nice checkmate in x moves (but not from a played game!),an "helpmate" (Black moves and plays together with White with the goal to checkmate Black`s king)
or a "selfmate" (White moves and forces Black`s pieces to checkmate W`s king,although he don`t want).
I´m curious if anybody has to offer something!:-)

how about posting something on topic, Thad? I've tried, but no one seems to want to talk about Gothic Chess here. Might as well talk about something..

your diffuse puberty rituals of fixative proving whatever are as low as your

a cheater is a definition, it's no insult either, so you better don't demand reports.
Although you have not apologized for your poor performance silly me presumed a courtesy

I also lasted 32 moves with Gothic in my only game over a year ago. Then again, I think I lost in about 8 - the remaining 24 moves was me just running around. :-)

Just one too many 9's actually. One of the 10's was Danochicken, and he is the JOKER of the deck.

Why does your deck of cards have five 9s, five 10s and 54 cards total? Just wondering. ;-)

Subject: 4000 Game Database
One of the projects I will be working on with Fencer is the creation of a pgn database of all games of Gothic Chess played here on BrainKing. These game will be tied into a database engine bundled with the version of Gothic Vortex coming out in December.

As you move on the Gothic Chess board from within votrex, a scrolling list of ALL PLAYERS who have been in the same position will automatically appear below the board. You can either continue playing on the Gothic Board just to view who else has done the moves, or you can click on a game, and automatically pick up where they left off.

As you move back and forth in their game, again, the list would conitnue to build below the board, showing everyone who has ever been in the same position. You can go from game-to-game-to game forever and always see who has done what.

I am offering players the opporunity to have their names appear in the database window as other than their BK handles, if they want.

Let me know via email at GothicChessInfo@aol.com if this interests you.
