Subject: Re: Play Gothic Chess Live, without needing a server

Yeah, Rob left out one very important point. In his game with White using The Quagga opening, he had a vastly superior position after my "flash in the pan" tactic to win a Chancellor for Archbishop after sacing a Bishop for a pair of pawns ended up fizzling out!

I played strategically, content with my false sense of security (plus I was happy that George Ross, the man sitting next to Donald Trump on The Apprentice, called me this evening and left a message for me to call him back! As Rob call tell you, I play best when I am in a bad mood.) Rob systematically got his Archbishop and pair of Knights right in the face of my King, and I was in real trouble (a mate in 3 awaited me if I miscued).

Anyway, that's my version of the events.

But he is right, this little program is cool.

Thanks to Cassius for giving me the programmer's email address.
