Thanks for the link and it was also interesting to see your other games. How do you get to the rest of your website? When I tried www.caissus.gmxhome.de I received an error message. Nice to be told to have fun on the Internet in German along with the error message. :-)

Caissus: To your Smirf link I suggest, that it probably should better address to http://www.chessbox.de/Compu/schachsmirf.html now.

Thanks for the address, I should have looked at your profile first since I think I had visited your site briefly before using the link in the profile when we were playing our embassy chess games. Again a nice assortment of games and a fascinating ending with the Janus and pawns against the two rooks with Ed Trice. The rest of the game had nice tactical turns and twists as well. Looks like you had a good chance to revenge the defeat in the other game when it was broken off.

By the way did you ever have any luck finding out whether that Janus chess set was still available for sale in Germany?

Asunto: Re: Januschess

panzerschiff: It`s a pity, but I received a message that no Januschessets are available, because their is a license problem too in Germany.
It looks that I have got the last real Januschesspieces. Pics are on my page.
Meanwhile I have received a Gothicchesset from Ed Trice (10x8 board and pieces) and I must say it is very nice and I would recommend to use it for all 10x8 variants.

Asunto: Re: Januschess

Caissus:
Yes, I would agree, I have two Gothic sets now and use those interchangably whether I am analysing Gothic, Embassy, Janus or Grand Chess games. The collector in me thought it would be kind of cool to have an actual Janus chess set designed as such. I also have Grand Chess pieces, and although they are a nice smaller wood set, it is nice to have the larger pieces that Ed produces for analysis or actual play.
