Argomento: Re: Janus verses Gothic

mahavrilla:

Gothic is played by around 35,000 people around the world, at last count from the sales database, now in 51 countries.

There are Grandmasters and International Masters in chess who also play Gothic Chess. This number is very small compared to the non-tournament playing population.

If only Grandmasters liked Gothic Chess, that would be a very small market! Fortunately, many young players take up the game.

Some old pictures from tournaments around the USA were online here at one point:

But, as you can see, the page became a "scrapbook" of sorts as various models posed for t-shirts and things.
