Subject: Re: An introduction of the 8x10 to a new fan

Thank you for the kind offer.

You did a great job, sir, and you are absolutely right--longtime chessplayers are very intrigued with the gameplay, the actual age of the pieces, and their history. It takes their understanding to new levels, and they cannot contest the logic of the pieces. 3 & 3, singular and dual powers, already hinted at in the use of the Rook-Bishop. Or "queen", if you wish. :D

I'll let him know about your offer.
