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)
Various issues of Gothic Chess Review showcase them. Also, there are some animated games online at http://www.geocities.com/bow_of_odysseus/index.html if you click on the SAMPLE GAMES link. I am in the process of cleaning up the website substancially.
thanks, I have had a look at that site and the games are fun to watch, but go too quickly for me. It would be good if there were some controls on them, but enough bitching, I think it is great to be able to see them at all. I also like the initial commentary. I shall follow up the Gothic Chess Review in due course. For me, the what I find hard to determine (in my game) is which is going to be the best move in any given position. Thanks :)
