Subject: Re:

JinkyOng: If you don't care, then I don't care. I've had enough messages about the speculation of it. You can beat Ed at Gothic Chess and even say it wasn't that hard for you, then you're obviously a lot better of a player than I am. Though speed Gothic Chess is not something I've ever played, I doubt if I'd have much of a chance against either one of you.

Perhaps we can talk about 10 × 8 Chess variants? Are you new to playing them? I've only been playing them for about two years now. I told Ed a long time ago that someday good Chess players would learn these games and then it'd be a whole different deal. We have had lots of debate about the use of machines and programs too. It seems that regular Chess is just about mastered by them and these larger boards still give us players a chance. From what I've seen it will just be a matter of time before that's not true.
