题目: Re: Gothic Chess and Bird's Chess flaw in the initial set up

Walter Montego: I don't like the way moving one pawn opens an attack with a bishop without ever moving the bishop. Chess does not have this. The only starting position on an 8 x 10 board that eliminates this would be putting the bishops at E1 & F1. I'm sure everyone agrees that this is not good. My proposal is to play on a 10 x 10 board. This keeps everything Ed & others like about the Gothic setup and eliminates the flaw.
