Otsikko: Re: ULTIMA is a very good 40 year old chess variant

lukulus: Yes, it is very confusing, but you can get used to it in the end.
Over a year ago I downloaded a trial copy of Zillions, which allowed me to play Ultima and claims to use Abbott's original rules. I had to play and lose several games while learning about tactics, but I did feel I was making some progress.
This site does not allow using a machine to help you with your moves, but training against software is surely allowed isn't it?
Does anyone think it is possible to get beyond simple tactics in Ultima and move on to strategy?
