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)
CRC (or if you like it: FullChess) is not intended to undergo Ed Trice's GC patent, but it would like to give its fascinating 10x8 board possibilities to everybody. Thus it tries to avoid conflicts with the Gothic Chess starting array by demanding at least three differences in White's base line. I am not demanding more differences. They might be but there is no need to be more distinct. Only very few from the 48.000 initial unfiltered arrays are that related to GC to be therefore excluded. Most of the missing arrays are kicked off only because of having uncovered pawns.
