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

In answer to what difficulties I have with Bird Chess,as opposed to Gothic Chess;I do not play any other Chess Variation except an occassional game of either Chinese Chess or Janus Chess. Why on earth would I want to play an extremely unbalanced game where White has such an unfair advantage in The Opening that he can take away all reasonable responses but one to Black;as well as making it very difficult for Black to have a decent chance to win. This is too too big an advantage for White. So,I'll stick to almost exclusively playing Gothic Chess. By the way,I also hate traditional Chess because Computers not only made it too easy to cheat;but greatly contributed to over analyzing it. I dispise Chess Computers and people who use them to cheat their opponants by getting their moves from them. In a chess game,or any other game for that matter,it is cheating to use an outside source other than ones own brain to get your moves while the game is in progress;and no honest person would do so. Unfortunately,many persons do cheat their opponants by using computers or other players help to defeat an opponant. I would never do this since it is not only dishonest;but flat out cheating. There is absolutely no satisfaction in winning a game I do not win by my skill alone;so Win,Lose,or Draw when someone faces me they are absolutely assured I will never stoop soooo low as to use an outside source to cheat them. My result depends entirely on my skill alone and nothing else. Honor means more than winning to me.
