Assunto: Re: Similar to Gothic

I went to the link BuilderQ. The game is almost exactly the same as Gothic Chess. The castling rule sounds cool too. But it could be changed to regular Chess rules and you'd have the same game with a slightly different initial set up, just like Capablanca's and Bird's versions. While at the Chess Variants site I checked out a couple of other games. Grand Chess seems pretty cool though it has some major differences to Gothic Chess. Especially how the Pawns can promote and when. Grand Chess had a link for a chess set. I like how they made the Cardinal and Marshall look. Same pieces as the Archbishop and Chancellor. The board is 10 X 10. I'd like to try both games and see how they play. Has anybody played them? How do they compare to Gothic Chess?
