Subject: Re: traditional chess is boring ...

lukulus: chess variants are so refreshing ... I cannot stand playing first 10 or so moves in traditional game ... it's like singing the same song over and over again. This is me. There are different personalities ... and what I discovered recently is playing with dice ... to my big surprise there are many very interesting situations during the game of dice chess ... and yet you do not have to spend hours on analyzing your next move ... it's more like backgammon, where you know immediately (in most cases) what to play ... it's more dynamic and more fun.
