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)
I agree with my old Gothic Chess friend the chesscarpenter. It seems a bit harsh to transfer the label "underpromotion" to the Chancellor and Archbishop. In chess, there are only two major pieces, the Queen and the Rook. Promoting to anything but the Queen represents a significant "under" promotion, but in Gothic, with a Chancellor being so close in strength to a Queen, I think it can be associated with a promotion. Heck, from the pawn's point of view, everything is a promotion, is it not? :) Even if delegated to the ranks of "middle management" and being made an Archbishop is still a promotion!
