Fine. I was interested in your assertion that it's the best chess game and thought you were probably unaware of all the alternatives.

Perhaps you'd like chu shogi: http://www.colina.demon.co.uk/chu.html

That last post was a bit cruel, I'm sorry. Of course the guy's opinion has zero value.

What you think is worth about 1/8000 as far as site policy goes.

Valuable post. I'm getting closer to a definitive diagnosis of your pathology.

That's fun. Remember how he thought Rants and Raves was set up as an anti-Walter-support-the-puppet fellowship? I dont know if in the US you have the expression "poor fish"(?) either way the behaviour of GP has consistently exemplified the thrust of this.

Bumble was probably joking. How's Gothic's loss against Alex germinating?

I disagree, a match is a single event so why should it be rated in parts?

There's a horse named King Of Gothland running in the 4:50 at Sandown, tipped by the Guardian.

It's a peculiar mail. The use of "arse", "butchers" and "bloody" rather overdoes the Britishness, particularly as the expression "guess what arse" is quite un-British, as is the use of "loser" in the subject. One definitely senses some kind of put-up job.

What reason is there to believe the message was from a "mod"?

Amazing that in this "fun" game you claimed to be winning but now admit you're losing yet have offered a draw when it's your move?!?

Nothing odd about Caissus having that quote, I've read it myself from two different sources.

Like the US government is concerned enough about Gothic chess to make a special arrangement. . . . . ???? I doubt that even GI is that delluded.

Anyone remember "battle chess"? An electronic game that assessed the present value of pieces when they met and decided which killed which.

Oh well, Gothic killed another interesting idea with a few trivial whinging and "off topic" posts, par for the course.

I post here because I have opinions to express about the game. Sure I dont play it, see my earlier posts.

I have made a formal complaint about your partial and unjustified moderating on the BrainKing board. This isn't the Bagpuss fan club.

Dont be so modest, you have the rudiments of cat chess, go for it.

4. Octubre 2004, 01:21:13

I guess the aunts are knitting cat's tails inumerable.

4. Octubre 2004, 01:18:03

Then we've got to worry whose aunt the tails belong to anyway, inheritance is crucial on a dollar a year.

Doesn't it it mean a cat has at least three tails but we dont know how many up to infinity whereby the probability of a cat having a definable number of tails is zero plus some negative factor to exclude the one or two?

Up to you, so gothic falls somewhere between Georg Dunkel's Bushi shogi on a 1x2 board and taikyoku shogi on a 36x36 board, in short nothing special size wise. Nevertheless the game is quite boring, trivial, artificial and as exciting as watching maiden aunts knit socks for their spayed cats.

4. Octubre 2004, 00:47:52
ughaibu 
Oh well, you get a feeling for a game and choose by your predilection. Sure you can use arithmatic to demonstrate that gothic's extra pieces dont compensate for the larger board but so what? Some people like gothic chess and who are we to arbitrate their taste? Merely proving it's triviality doesn't detract from it's vulgar appeal.

For sure, as I suggested in an earlier post chuu, with a C, maybe the limit at which humans can conduct a whole board strategy, as it has been played by among others Oyama, I think it's viability is incontravertable.

3. Octubre 2004, 23:33:33
ughaibu 
Quite, yet we have the excellent game of Kyoto shogi on a 5x5 board and the utterly trivial game of gogo shogi on a similar board. Chuu shogi is played on a 12x12 board with a wild array of diverse pieces incuding the lion and two other promoted forms capable of two distinct moves at one turn. Th tactical possibilities extend well beyond those available to pieces with chess movements and the larger board size, as pointed out by Gothic, 144 vs 64, gives a far wider strategic challenge.

Have you played chuushogi? I suspect it's the largest chess over which one can hope to conduct a whole-board strategy. It's not a game I like but very impressive when contested between strong opponents.
