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)
To whisperz: There are actual two contests going on here.
Contest # 1: Post the position featuring B + N vs. lone king that you believe is the longest white to move and win. NO ANALYSIS. Just the position. I will query the database and whoever has the longest win, wins :) The winner will receive a Gothic Chess Mug once they pay for the shipping.
Contest #2: I sent to Fencer one of the 245 longest win positions. He is setting up special, private games where people can play the winning side against my database. Whoever wins the position most quickly will win a free Gothic Chess set, again, for the price of shipping.
So, the deadline is approaching. Get your entrants for contest #1 to me by Friday. We will start the tournament for the Gothic Chess set prize thereafter.
I should have the graphical user interface hooked up to my database by then.
