Konu: Re: Goth vs. Janus

Gothic is not based on Janus at all! Just look at the castling differences. In Janus, in one direction the king leaps 4 squares, and in the other, just 3. This is a huge difference. In fact, Janus plays like a "colors-reversed" game because when the king ends up in the Knight's file on one side of the board, it is exactly like the opposite color does in chess.

Gothic is actually more closely related to Bird's chess in 1875 than Capablanca's chess from 1925.

See the paper at:
