Emne: Capablanca Chess

The reason why there is No Capablanca Chess is that White has a huge advantage! So basically this variant isn't playable...where Gothic Chess is a stable variant and a HUGE discovery NOT a samll modification of CC, but the way the 10x8 board should be played! So once again CC is not a playable version!!

Emne: Re: Capablanca Chess

The prevalent opinion sees Gothic Chess only as a variation of Capablanca Chess.
There are beside the original setup of Capaplanca some other setups (for instance the "Aberg variation"),which you can use.In the next time I will publish these variations on the board "Other chess variants".

Emne: Re: Capablanca Chess

The point I was trying to make is why play CC on this site if White has a huge advantage! This is why no one plays it.

Emne: Re: Capablanca Chess

I have never played Capablanca...but I feel anything would be better than allowing the gothc license to be held at Fencers head like a gun.
I hope gothic chess never leaves BrainKing,and that ed realizes that we only want to have fun and enjoy our games.There is no room for personal vendettas,and as a moderator...this is a big obstacle.
I hope things work out so that all involved can reach a mutual agreement.
