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)
Thanks, I'll have to take a closer look at the value of the Archbishop (Janus). In the article, the author makes a cryptic comment about "adding an extra parameter" to account for the fact that the Archbishop can perform an unassisted mate of a lone King. I have to agree with you that my playing experience is that the Archbishop is definitely weaker than the Queen, although I think the Archbishop may be stronger in closed positions (just like the Knight is stronger in closed positions than the Bishop and sometimes even a Rook).
I've already asked for Omega Chess and Gothic Chess and provided Fencer with the URLs explaining the rules, setup, etc. It might still be worth anyone else mentioning it again to him in order to show that there is more than just one interested person. It appears lots of people are playing Janus Chess and I think lots would play Omega and Gothic Chess as well. So, show your support for Omega and Gothic Chess by sending Fencer another note! :-)
