 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)

Ämne: This board
Aloha all,

It seems like this board is getting a little out of control, or maybe I'm just reading some posts wrong. I certainly don't see a new to ban anyone, but since I'm new at ths position, I thought I'd ask anyone else out there who wishes to express their opinion about any of the recent posts to PM me. This board belongs to us all (everyone who reads it), so I'll try to moderate it (along with the other mods.) as best as I can for the audience. If people prefer to see all kinds of rhetoric, we can allow those kind of posts, or if people prefer a cleaner board, we can work toward that too. Just looking for some input/feedback. My door is always open.

Thanks,
Thad

Ämne: Position of knights
I sometimes thought the knights were too far from the center in Gothic, but in Grotesque they look too close. Where would they develop to? Not in front of the center pawns, surely? But if they go the other way they seem to hinder development of the bishops.

Well, Robin Roberts is the person behind me wearing the cap. That was taken on September 28, 2003, the last day the Philadelphia Phillies' played at Veteran's Stadium before they knocked it down.

If you read his own Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%3AOme
gaMan or click here you will see:

I must confess ...

I am an ex-editor of "Chess Variants" at the Google directory. I was blacklisted for flaming a senior editor of the games category, I infer. To be sure, this person [whom I will only refer to as "she"] did not know a damned thing about chess variants. Yes, they were hanging a "help wanted" sign for a reason. Yet astonishingly, she would dare to arrogantly, relentlessly countermand most of my work for extremely petty (and often, erroneous) or unstated reasons. More importantly, she did some things which I strictly regard as socially unconscionable.

...



which is then followed by a full-page rant against the Senior Editors of the ChessVariants.org website.

I know who this person is, I just got him removed from that place, so he is carrying out his little "posting war" somewhere else. It does not matter, his entry has now been removed from Wikipedia.

One interesting part of that (now gone) post was that, since Ed's program is participating, it could happen that the prize winner and the prize sponsor of the GCWC are almost the same ;) Any comments?

The poster of the text at http://www.symmetryperfect.com/gothic click here is Derk Nalls. He lives in Ardmore, Oklahoma, and he is now being served papers as I am suing him.

Let's see how long his website displays the slander, shall we?

I like this game, anyone else want to play?

Ämne: nothing civil about it
lawsuits are notorious for failing internationally. Especially those based on internet law. There are no extradition treaties for civil (or un-civil) cases. Local authorities are just that..authorities of their own laws and constitutions and could care less about foreign policy. Watch the families of 911 and Cantor Fitzgerald try to sue the Saudi Arabian govt. Laughable. In Korea, people still settle things like men without posturing. Luckily, the lawsuit world is still primarily a Western barbarism.
