Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

- 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)
