Well.. blame isn't really the correct word... and I almost edited my post to reflect that.. lol.. but figured people would know how I meant it..

Who's blaming Fencer?

Perhaps the creator of Gothic Chess should be blamed for its removal, and NOT Fencer.

Fencer has been patient long enough with this man.

playBunny: Will Capablana Random be a worthy replacement?

No! Absolutely not.........
CRC is a good game (actually GC is just a starting position of CRC) but any "Fischer/Capablanca Random" implementation of Chess or Gothic Chess is not in the same league with the original games, because of lack of opening theory, due to many starting positions and because of the random factor inside them. Why these 2 things should be a disadvantage.......? Well it is........:-)

Asunto: Re:

AbigailII: No, there won't be. The gothic start position will be excluded because of the mentioned licence/patent problems.

Chessmaster1000: I came to this site due to Gothic Chess. I will not leave after it leaves but it's a huge hole.......I wonder how it will be repaired........?!?

Fencer announced Capablanca Random Chess as a replacement for Gothic Chess. It's also played on a 10x8 board, it uses the same pieces a Gothic Chess, but the setup is random, with similar restrictions as in Fisher Random Chess. There will be an 1 in 48,000 probability you start off in the same position as Gothic Chess.

Asunto: Re: GC, CM1000 and CRC

Chessmaster1000:
It would be a shame to resign your games. If you've been enjoying them so far for the game itself then can that not continue?

I think Fencer's been very patient for a long time with a man who has proved very difficult to get on with. GC = Good Cull from that point of view.

And you can't leave ... who's going to help me improve my backgammon if "one of the best players of Backgammon on Earth" leaves?

What do you think .. Will Capablana Random be a worthy replacement?

Asunto: Re:

Chessmaster1000: There is always a chance but I wouldn't rely on it. And believe me, I was thinking for a very long time before I came to this conclusion which is the best for BrainKing, not for any particular user. I know there are people who find this decision bad and wrong but in order to keep the site nice and friendly, I am sure I did the right thing.

What a pity!
Sorrow all around me......:-(:-(
My favourite fellowiship "The Gothic Chess Ladder: Enter the Vortex" will have no reason to exist....
I came to this site due to Gothic Chess. I will not leave after it leaves but it's a huge hole.......I wonder how it will be repaired........?!?

Unfortunatelly your announcement has completely discouraged me from continuing any GC games....I'm even thinking of resigning them.
One last question: Is there any chance -even 0.00008%- to change your decision.....? Because if there is a slight possibility i will not resign......

Asunto: Re:

Chessmaster1000: After 31/12 2005, everything related to Gothic Chess [games, ratings, charts, rules] will be removed. Everybody has more than 4 months to finish running games and download them or print them or use them in any other way. It is a very long time and should be sufficient.

27. Agosto 2005, 00:13:31

Chessmaster1000

Although i disagree 100% with the removal of Gothic Chess, and been burning from curiosity of WHY, i forget all these and just want to know what will happen with GC games that will NOT finish until 31/12/2005......? Will they finish automatically?

And what will happen with the ratings of Gothic Chess........? Will be deleted or........?

Asunto: Re: Wow, 25 new PAID memberships in August!

Vikings: That's what I'm saying. They first turned to pawns BEFORE they renewed their membership - so they are sort-of new.

Vikings

Asunto: Re: Wow, 25 new PAID memberships in August!

BIG BAD WOLF: I recognized many of those names from the past

26. Agosto 2005, 04:39:16

Asunto: Re: Wow, 25 new PAID memberships in August!

Vikings: If people renew before their membership runs out, they will not show up on the list. Only pawns which get a new membership (even if they had one at some time before) - I believe.

26. Agosto 2005, 04:33:11

Vikings

Asunto: Re: Wow, 25 new PAID memberships in August!

Fencer: that stat is a little misleading since many of those are simply renewing, is it possible to have a list of new memberships somewhere?

Fencer: Personally, there are two things I keep in mind when I am going to put money (register) into a site.

1. Is it "Alive". It is important to me to know that others are doing it also. I don't want to register/pay for a site that is dying.

2. Is it being maintained. This is pretty obvious. Is the site owner still interested in the site and actively improving it.

This site Rocks...that is why I am still a member.
