An interesting read: scroll down to Oct 12th in the blog. http://www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com/

I've heard rumour that Susan Polgar is the second alternative to Fischer.

Personally, I would love to witness such an event. I just don't think Fischer is the right opponent for Karpov, as much as I would love to see him play once more.

Pedro Martínez: The effort or the event?

Anyone read the latest:

Caissus: That game can be viewed on Gothicchesslive now.

Well, perhaps Smirf should continue its game against Pythagoras (where they left off before resignation). Since both players seem to think they had the tactical advantage, let's see who comes out the wiser.

HalfPawn: Gothic chess used to be a popular game here amongst the chess enthusiasts. However it seems that the creator of this site and the creator of the game Gothic Chess could not see eye to eye and the game was removed. There are those that are still sadly disappointed with the removal of the game (I for one) and those that are glad to see the game gone. Probably not because the game was bad, but rather the Inventor was a difficult man for some to get along with. For more information on Gothic Chess you can go to http://www.gothicchess.com/

Thad: I'm actually quite interested

ColonelCrockett: I bet he knew you were going to say that

It is no longer available here, but you can go to Gothicchess.org to play.

I believe that Ed Trice is working on this right now. I don't think that it can be played in Realtime yet (as far as I know). I believe that when this is completed it will be available through http://www.gothicchess.org/

One buck to stop the bickering - I'll pay it, send me the bill. As for Ed and Fencer; that is there private fight to own, not ours. I imagine that we are all here to play Gothic Chess and not to bicker about a patent (you could always go to cowplay to do that if it's up your alley).
I know Ed and Fencer have had their disputes and lots of things have happened behind close doors, however the game itself is a very appealing game. I personally have taken a strong interest in this game and have spent many hours studying it, you could say that it is my new hobby. To lose Gothic Chess hear I feel would be a poor choice on Fencer's part. I don't know what can be siad for Ed's behaviour because I'm not in a position to speak of it. If fencer finds something wrong regarding Ed's behaviour then perhaps discipline is order for the member - NOT THE GAME! This is my stand point on that and I will defend Gothic Chess to stay at this site. As for Ed, he can defend himself because he can speak to what he has said and what has been said behind close doors.
I'm not here to be a *hit disturber, I just feel that the game itself should not be on trial here.

I strongly agree with you George. If one of the Mods is speaking out of place then perhaps he/she should be barred from BK. Fencer should have to answer to this.

Ed Trice has created a Gothic Chess tournament with 3 prizes for first, second and thrd place finishers.
