Sujet: CRC and Embassy Chess
I think one problem with the random set up version of some games is just that, they're random! This might be fine for some people, but quite a few others like having the board set up the same each game and can then concentrate on how each game goes knowing that the pieces will be where they expect them to be. I doubt if I'd like a random version of Japanese Shogi Chess and I only just learned that game. I'm all for adding the Capablanca Random Chess, but I'd like a game similiar to Gothic, Bird's, or Capablanca's Chess that would have the same set up each time. I would again like to suggest Embassy Chess. The set up of the pieces is identical to Gothic Chess except that the Kings and Chancellors are switched in position. The Chancellor is called the Marshall and the Archbishop is called the Cardinal. The same names as in Grand Chess. The pieces are identical in all ways except the names. This board and set up are not patented and were proposed months ago when this patenting and licensing stuff first came to a head.

White's side of the board.
M = Marshall - a piece that moves as a Rook or Knight
C = Cardinal - a piece that moves as a Bishop or Knight

This set up has the King and Queen together, all Pawns guarded, Bishops positioned for fianchetto placement, has the most Chesslike appearence of the four games in question, is not patented, does not require licensing, the Marshall and Cardinal may both move as Knights at the start of the game without blocking each other (compare to the Chancellor and Archbishop of Gothic Chess). These all seem like good reasons to have the game here. The opening theory should be very similiar to Gothic Chess. Embassy Chess will not have the drawbacks that Ed Trice has expounded upon in Bird's and Capablanca's set ups in his essay about how he decided to place the pieces for Gothic Chess and will have all the benefits of Gothic Chess, plus those I mention here.

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........:-)

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.

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?

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......

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.

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........?

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.
