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

I'm not sure when the next version of gothic vortex comes out. In it it will have more than 10x as many opening positions. In it will probably have that opening, but we will have to wait until Ed Trice releases it.
What would be neat for this board if we had links to our games or anyone's games and say white to move and win, or black to move and win like chessgames.com does. It should be a brilliant move which undermines the oponent or sets up for a forced checkmate or a win in a good amount of material.
This board has mostly been dead lately. It would be nice to start up some discussion.
