Sujet: Re: the correlation between gothic and 8x8

Chessmaster1000:

The skill sets are transportable. What chess player needs to "start over" to learn Gothic? None: the initial representation and the new piece movement descriptions are all that are needed to get going.

What Gothic player cannot play on the less ornate tactical field of 8x8 chess?

Again, everybody can, so there is some intersection of these two sets regarding skill.

As I have stated previously, I believe overplaying one and not the other is the only way to have a diminished capacity in the underplayed game.

Playing a healthy balance of each will have positive benefits in each.
