Points on April 14, 2004:

1.GC:Enter The Vortex—can we set up a chess team and show the standard players how well we do at the standard variation?

2. Look at Gothic Chess King of the Hill2--it began April 11th. Already things are heating up!

3.OOOhh, Fight! One BKR point separates the two warriors. Look in and see what is happening after the 29th move—it is a tight squeeze. Strydor v HerculesBeast

--at 29.h3xg4, we have Black to move and
*FEN b]5R4/PPKNC4P/3P1A1PP1/3PP5/2a1p5/2p1cp1pp1/pp1n5p/1k4r3.

4. We have here another reason why GothicChess is the Kendo of MindSports!

--Tangram (BKR1988) v Taikoki (BKR1442), Mar 6-20th, 38 moves, white resigns, 0-1!

Well played by our chessfriends, but the plan’s the thing!

New players bring new attacks, new priorities, new strategies.

Once GothicInventor said that if Capablanca had gotten the backfile right, we would perhaps be calling Gothic Chessà”Chess”, and I hope he is right someday! Great games.
