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

It looks like 17...i6?? was the collosal game-ending blunder. I cannot get my version of Vortex to play this move when I let it play Black. 17...h5 offers the best shot at holding the draw, since after the white Bishop retreats to set up a check by eventually revealing the Rook, the black king has ...Ki8 and then the new retreat square ...Kh7 with the h-pawn pushed.
I will have a new version of the opening book ready by Monday which will allow the program to evade this danger, as well as play some of your outstanding moves for white in the event the positions ever come up.
