Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

- 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)

It takes some getting used to, but the "developing without moving" Bishop, by just pushing the d-pawn, is a weapon black can use to NOT be behind by one tempo as a result of moving second.

You notice on the stats page that black has actually won more games than white. I think in the long term scheme of things, some players have stumbled onto the notion of how to use the diagonals to their advantage as black.
