<>1.Cc3 probably is not the best move for White,like Edtrice` move sequence shows.If it >proves something than the contrary of his statement.
>This move is not a threat for Black`s weak point and he must not fear it.
I didn't say it should fear it. In fact it's a bad move for white to play.
BUT what is the important and what i've said is that WHEN white plays it, then black have only 4 playable moves. Have you seen this at Gothic Chess or Chess? No. At Gothic chess and Chess whatever move white plays, then black has at least 15-20 moves to play or to be more correct at least 9-11 moves that are good theoretically.
>Again I must say I see no decisive disadvantage in this variant,at best a small blemish.
Me too but as i've said, this is not the important thing. The important is that it has this small weakness while it's brother Gothic Chess, hasn't. So we should prefer Gothic Chess if we had to choose between these 2. But we haven't, so we can play both! But as our time is not infinite we should stick with the better one and this is G.C.
