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
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
Asunto: Why would any need a license to make and sell game sets that could be used for Gothic Chess playing?
The only thing that you own is the name Gothic Chess. The pieces are already designed in Grand Chess. Very nice I might add, check out their site though the game is played on a 10 X 10 board the pieces used are identical to the ones in Gothic Chess and the game is from the 1970's. The 8 X 10 board is over a hundred years old. Why would I, or anyone else need your permission to make and sell game sets that could be used to play Gothic Chess or any other version of Chess?
