 Chess variants (10x8)

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)

Subiectul: Chessproblem with the new pieces
Modificat de Caissus (12. August 2004, 14:36:47)
Okay something "on topic": Does anybody know or can compose a chessproblem with the new pieces?
But attention,in the literature the new pieces rook/knight and bishop/knight sometimes have other names as "chancellor" or "archbishop".
I am interested to see an othodox problem with a nice checkmate in x moves (but not from a played game!),an "helpmate" (Black moves and plays together with White with the goal to checkmate Black`s king)
or a "selfmate" (White moves and forces Black`s pieces to checkmate W`s king,although he don`t want).
I´m curious if anybody has to offer something!:-)

how about posting something on topic, Thad? I've tried, but no one seems to want to talk about Gothic Chess here. Might as well talk about something..

your diffuse puberty rituals of fixative proving whatever are as low as your
board-habits - why not answer to the topic questions here ? btw calling a cheater
a cheater is a definition, it's no insult either, so you better don't demand reports.
Although you have not apologized for your poor performance silly me presumed a courtesy
of leaving it behind. Of course we know why indeed you sulk about going away - it's easy chicken out from true competition. I for my part won't feel pelled to having hectic games with running rabbits - no game until licence is renewed. Due to my precious reward as serious
player
I prefer to brag only with complete games - if feeling urged to such, anyway ... ~*~ 0:)

Quo - I can't begin to imagine the kind of life you must lead to make you have to resort to posting something the PushPin Boy at National Geographic HQ might conceive in his time between searching for pennies in office cushions and cleaning the lavatory.

No offense of course. Just incredibly sad to see someone waste themselves like that -- Take some advice, Get help at Charter, and if you can't get help at Charter, please, get help somewhere!

I also lasted 32 moves with Gothic in my only game over a year ago. Then again, I think I lost in about 8 - the remaining 24 moves was me just running around. :-)

Just one too many 9's actually. One of the 10's was Danochicken, and he is the JOKER of the deck.

Why does your deck of cards have five 9s, five 10s and 54 cards total? Just wondering. ;-)

Subiectul: 4000 Game Database
One of the projects I will be working on with Fencer is the creation of a pgn database of all games of Gothic Chess played here on BrainKing. These game will be tied into a database engine bundled with the version of Gothic Vortex coming out in December.

As you move on the Gothic Chess board from within votrex, a scrolling list of ALL PLAYERS who have been in the same position will automatically appear below the board. You can either continue playing on the Gothic Board just to view who else has done the moves, or you can click on a game, and automatically pick up where they left off.

As you move back and forth in their game, again, the list would conitnue to build below the board, showing everyone who has ever been in the same position. You can go from game-to-game-to game forever and always see who has done what.

I am offering players the opporunity to have their names appear in the database window as other than their BK handles, if they want.

Let me know via email at GothicChessInfo@aol.com if this interests you.
