Walter Montego: You say, "It's a lot harder for people to play this game compared to regular Chess." If that is this case, won't that restrict the numbers who take up Gothic Chess? I'm well aware that Ed's business model is that his variant will become the mainstream version. But if what you say is true then it won't happen. The reason that people DON'T play regular Chess at the moment is not because it doesn't give them sufficient challenge! For many it's too complex already.
