<>Oh well, you get a feeling for a game and choose by your predilection. Sure you can use >arithmatic to demonstrate that gothic's extra pieces dont compensate for the larger board but so what?
What are you talking about? You are miles away from what i've been saying...........
>Some people like gothic chess and who are we to arbitrate their taste?
