Hi Ed!

Thank you so much for allowing Gothic Chess to be available here online! I am a happy owner of a physical Gothic Chess set and was a Gothic Chess Association member for a year. Your newsletters were great! Well, I'm looking forward to Gothic Chess's online debut here and would be delighted to play you! Of course, I'm sure you'll trounce me, but I'll be able to tell my grandchildren that I played the inventor of Gothic Chess. :-)

John (a.k.a. Juan Grande)

P.S. I attempted to carry on a discussion of the relative values of the Gothic Chess pieces from your article in the July 2000 Gothic Chess Review over in the "Janus Chess" discussion board here. If you have the time or inclination, we'd love to hear your input. :-)
