Konu: Gothic Chess being patented

To discuss the method patent property of Gothic Chess is misleading. The 10x8 chess scene is not visited that dense by users. So it would be counterproductive to insist of that patent to be ok or not or whether it would make sense to establish a game patent at all. I do not intend to patent my random 10x8 variant, because I am convinced it would be making that subject even unattractive. And I am not willing to invest a lot of time in discussing questions of patenting games. But Ed Trice has made his own decision on Gothic Chess, and obviously it has been possible to get such a game patented in the USA. So live and let live.
