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

Over a year ago we had a discussion about Castling! Should we Castle early in the game...or should we castle later on?
Many people seemed to think that if one Castled early the new pieces that make up Gothic Chess...because they are so powerful that committing to an early Castle would spell Doomsday!
On the other hand, Castling early is an advantage becuase of piece devlopment toward an attacking goal with King safety!
I am in favor of early Castling which I would deem to be somewhere in the area of 8-12 moves.
What does everyone else think now that they have played many more games!
