Very excellent post sir! I am in the process of "rebuilding" the tattered remnant of the website into something more worthwhile. I will share the trials and tribulations of 'discovering' how the 10x8 board with this setup was the one that seems to finally "work". There was a quest of sorts, starting way back in 1986 when I was programming The Sniper (my chess program which eclipsed 2200 shortly after Ken Thompson did it with his Belle hardware). There were many interruptions, and the quest began again in 1998....read more at:

Dear Mr. Edward Trice,

The story of your quest is of great interest to me, as you can see by my explanation of what makes chess, itself, interesting. In a way, your decision to apply for a patent using the 10x8 format is an exponentially great chess move, per se. You must have been rather anxious in hopes the patent office would not reject your application. I would love to hear your story some day about how that came down, and what your reaction was when you were given the news of being granted the patent. In case you can't tell, you have a ready-made fan club, here! /Fx/
