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)

Registered owners of Gothic Vortex will get the 4 pieces databases once they are hooked up. The 5-piece databases are 900 MB total so they cannot be included without multiple CDs are some form of compression.
I setup a similar position in chess:
White: King a8, Queen h2, Pawn d2
Black: King f1, Queen g7
White wins in 76 moves by playing Qf4 or Qh3! All other moves lead to the draw or loose. I get this result from Nalimov Tablebase Server
on http://www.lokasoft.nl/uk/tbweb.htm
The larger board in Gothic Chess allows the black to survive more then 3 times longer (assuming Ed's software to compute Gothic Chess tablebases doesn't have bugs).
There is an easy solution to this. Ask Fencer to set up a position, suspend the 50 move rule, and play against this database. I will move for it. You can move for yourself. We play until checkmate.
