Asunto: Play Gothic Chess Live, without needing a server
For those who like real-time action with instant updates of the board...

http://www.mailchess.de/netgame07b_setup.exe

Download this, install it, then select the FILE menu, NEW GAME, then pick Gothic Chess from the radio buttons.

Under the SETTINGS menu, select PIECES, then GOTHIC CHESS PIECES, and you are ready to play a live game against someone over the internet without needing a server!

You will have to configure your settings by adding your IP address into a field, but the program will help you get your IP address.

Then you can wait for connections to accept games with you.

Maybe all who have successfully installed it can post what times they will be online looking for games, as well as their IP addresses.

Hey Everybody,

Ed and I played real time Gothic Chess!!! It works and is very easy to setup!!

Ed of course won...but it was battle with him having 3 seconds left on his clock.

You can change the color of the squares and the font of the game list! Set the clock for any time one wishes to play, and also save the game when your finished, which we forgot to do!

You and your opponent should agree on the time controls 1st because there is no way to change it after other than playing another game in the process. Also, you should give your opponent your IP Address before you start if you are the one hosting the game...IP's change everytime you disconnect from the internet so just keep that in mind when playing!
So have fun and start playing!!

Yeah, Rob left out one very important point. In his game with White using The Quagga opening, he had a vastly superior position after my "flash in the pan" tactic to win a Chancellor for Archbishop after sacing a Bishop for a pair of pawns ended up fizzling out!

I played strategically, content with my false sense of security (plus I was happy that George Ross, the man sitting next to Donald Trump on The Apprentice, called me this evening and left a message for me to call him back! As Rob call tell you, I play best when I am in a bad mood.) Rob systematically got his Archbishop and pair of Knights right in the face of my King, and I was in real trouble (a mate in 3 awaited me if I miscued).

Anyway, that's my version of the events.


But he is right, this little program is cool.

Thanks to Cassius for giving me the programmer's email address.
