Asunto: Re: To draw or not to draw?

Walter Montego: Whoops, sorry Walter. I didn't mean to misquote you.

Yes, easy to learn and easy to do are indeed different things - I know since that's been part of my job for years!

Is Gothic Chess harder to learn to play well than regular chess? Probably yes. But, IMHO, only at the moment. But I don't think that's anything inherent in the game itself. The reason regular chess is so easy to learn to play well is that we're standing on the shoulders of giants, giants that have been publicised widely. I believe that once literature on Gothic Chess has been widely published and has been written about in many ways - by master strategists, wily tacticians, friendly starting-off tutors and the like - it will be as easy to learn as regular chess.
