Is Grand Chess also ok? I know you are a master in that game too, and I don't like the 10x8 variants so much. I'm not a good chess player however, I hope you don't mind.
Uhm, I talk but I get no reply. Is this just because no-one likes to answer? Or can't they here me? It looks great, except for some java-related problems I always have.
Uhm, I wasn't looking for a logical proof or something, but I will restate my question:
I have the feeling that the archbishop as compared to the bishop has gained a lot in power, while the chancelour as compared with the rook has gained less power. (the weakness of one-colour-squares of the bishop is neutralized, more combi-attacks are possible (?))
Is my feeling correct that generally speaking the three pieces (queen, archbishop, chanselour) have about the same strenght?
