Subject: RE: Horde Chess

Not quite so Caissus ... black does have some hope in horde chess and a win cannot be forced from move 1 by white.

No chance for black,WhisperzQ!
The strategy for W is easy :He changes some pawns in the opening,gives three or four pieces for two pawns (each) and then he invades with queen and/or rook in Black`s position.From backwards he can beat B`s important pawns.
No problem for W,if he doesn`t play too bad :).

Still, there is a hope for black, it is not completely pre-ordained ... so far I have a 16:8 win:loss as black (8:0 as white). For the site it is about 3 white: 1 black.
