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

Well, what makes this board so interesting is the cast of characters :)
As an outside observer I can try to classify them.
Ed Trice - smart person but sometimes with childish way of thinking, "I am the best, you will never beat me, you are nothing compared to me, get out of my eyes; or play using my rules and be always polite" now acting as a chameleon, his fear of losses in all areas is very visible, strange and unusual
Caissus - pragmatic, smart, always acting friendly, the type of person we all are looking after
Danoschek - rarely seen, hard to decipher, seems smart but lately bound to repeat always the same type phrases, trying to irritate observers and to get them to his side, but may be its just some kind of hatred what leads his steps, may be he would like to be the best, but someone is in his way, there are some similarities with Trice person model possibly
Stevie - "let me have some fun, I like to provoke some nerds :P"
ScarletRose - long lost love? :P jk
Good there are still few notices about the game itself here and there on this board :D
Pity after developing engines like vortex will offline games turn into "my program against your program", "my computer against your computer like in chess", so some fans will seek for online competition in faster games instead.
