 Chess variants (10x8)

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


For posting:
- invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy)
- information about upcoming tournaments
- disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position
... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress)
- links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)

panzerschiff: It`s a pity, but I received a message that no Januschessets are available, because their is a license problem too in Germany.
It looks that I have got the last real Januschesspieces. Pics are on my page.
Meanwhile I have received a Gothicchesset from Ed Trice (10x8 board and pieces) and I must say it is very nice and I would recommend to use it for all 10x8 variants.

SMIRF Engine: A Player, who is playing only one game and has finished only 3 8x10 chessgames.But he is discussing about 10x8 chess as he is the world`s greatest expert in this theme.

Generally I think it is not necessary to quote again and again large statements by a person who is banned at all BK-db`s. And his game is banned also.

One last quote ( by Trice) : "Caissus gets a free Gothic Chess set for coming in second place. Contact me at GothicChessInfo@aol.com to send me the address to send your prizes." It was on 07/13/2005 and I am waiting until today for the second prize.

We have now four games with AB`s/Janus : CRC, Grande Chess, Embassy Chess and Janus Chess and three of them have the same symbol for the knight/bishop piece except Janus Chess.

Would it not make sense to change now the symbol for the Janus according to the other three games?

Относно: Re: To draw or not to draw?
Stormerne: Although I am a fan of GC I must say that for many beginners in chess it would be better first to become a better chessplayer and then to learn the more complicated game of GC with his two more pieces and the bigger board.

Stormene,you are right with your opinion, many (good) chessplayers have said to to me: "Why should I play this bigger chessgame,if I am so a bad player in the original chess?"
(Mostly the good chessplayers know that they play bad, and mostly the bad players are thinking that they play good :-)).

I don`t think that GC will become the mainstream of chess in the near future, it is a really interesting game but it will be only a game for a few and not for many! It has to do with the patent and with the fact that chess itsself is not solved.

BTW it is only important, that you have two additional pieces for your piecesset. Then you can use them as Janus,AB,Chancellor,Wizard,for the Chinese Chess or whatever

The Auerswald-tool uses for the standard pieces the German abbreviations and for the AB the "A" for the chancellor the "C".Even so we can speak in German about "Kanzler" and "Kardinal".I don`t like the "Erzbischof".

What is standard,hm?I think in the real chess the Staunton pieces are a standard.In virtual chess the most computers and chessservers use pieces as we have here in Bk and they are very similar to the Stauntonpieces.In chessvariants.com they have the alfaerie-chessset.The icons for the chancellor and the cardinal are very logical and selfdeclarend.In Janusschess we have an icon,which was defined by the inventor and the januschessfederation http://www.janusschach.de/.
