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

<>A balanced game is where the starting position is such that:(1.)all pawns have at least 1 >piece protecting them;(2.) Indian formations are possible;(3.)neither side has a definite >advantage on move 1(as is the case in Bird's and Capablanca Chess);(4.)Quick lines of >developement are fluid and available(only Gothic Chess meets all these requirements.
This is your definition of a balanced game. I have another. Another person has something different. So you see that you can't really say that a balanced games has..... as this is not a fact but only an opinion.
Anyway i agrre on 1).
I do care for 2) but i don't find it necessary for a balanced game.
As for the 3) it's wrong. How do you know that at Chess or Gothic Chess white or black hasn't a definite advantage at move 1? If you mean "obvious" advantage then i think that at Bird's variation this is not true.
I don't think 4) has nothing to do with a well-balanced game.
