 Chess variants (10x8)

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)

that ppl still fall to the illusion, an inflation of exclamation marks could substitute
meaning whatsoever ... but style asides, making moves during vacation is not
a pointer at multinic humbug per se - it could mean respecting you in particular ... ~*~

almost is a very essential word that often
makes the difference in a good post, thanks.
I cAn almost agree as the geometrics are almost similar. ~*~

Argomento: indeed it's a difference to say
'you're a tactical player' (I'm not popier than the pope) but 'no positinal player' with
invalid phrases, although you oviously missed, 23)... Nf5 was highly positional.
- since you're crying for mods after asking for trouble I reckon you wish to be hidden, ok. ~*~

but you do not have the required judging skills which would grant you to use phrases
like 'obviously' in any context regarding me - as your assuming is not even close to what
I have been saying - I suggest you read it again, perhaps strategically this time ... ~*~

but we should stay serious. what's "tendencially drawish" anyway, french exchange ?
both games are well balanced as far as I could claim a gothic overview - actually it's the
'undrawish games' that have problems to be interesting if one side has huge advantage ~*~

Argomento: just if you play 3 checks
you should not expect that programmers know what a check is.
it is actually a three and a half check chess or something else
of a rather comedian approach contradicting even simplest logic ... . ~*~

that message had some substance after all ... as mentioned I don't envy anbody to
have fun with that neat capablanca setup for edification and freeing up the spirit

is in the public domain ... it's on aminet from about 1990 and still much more
