I think this was enough for an "odd mention" of a 10x8 variant that is not available on BK. I recommend to continue this discussion somewhere else (PMs?).

HalfPawn: You must be a genius, being able to derive that most of the French chess players in the world disagree with Walter on that matter from that article and those posts. Almost of the same level as Trice.

I know this is off-topic but I just had to laugh when I read Trice's comments about "giving me bets to place round after round". It IS true that he gave me 6 bets for the first 6 round of this pond ( http://brainking.com/cz/Pond?bms=5&g=10 )
and when he saw he was at 30th place after round 6, he stopped sending me his bets. Sorry about this post not being related to 10x8 chess variants, but I just couldn't help myself.

BIG BAD WOLF: No computer-based translator will EVER give you an exact translation. Even though it might be able to give you a little clue of what the text is about (if it is simple enough), never rely on it much. In my opinion, this a good example of an industry where computers will never surpass humans.

And of her 81 active games, how many are Gothic Chess games?

0.

But thanks for telling us to calm down.

Trice claims he has a contract with Hasbro. They should, allegedly, start selling Gothic Chess sets this summer.

Walter Montego: Note that I'm not saying that Ed lies. I see only these two options, nothing else. He either has the patent or doesn't have the patent. Either the registers are wrong or Trice lies. No third way.

Trice PMed me last night that he would send the respective documents to Fencer if Fencer asked him to do so. That's the situation how it is now. I know how uncomfortable the correspondence with Ed Trice is for Filip so let's wait how everything is going to end up.

Argomento: Re: Re:
Walter Montego: I feel that if you went to Geneva now and applied for an international patent for Gothic Chess today, you should be successful. There are no signs whatsoever there would be any patent in force for the EU region for Gothic Chess.

I think Trice either didn't apply for the examination of his application according to A.94(2) EPC or he didn't pay the fee connected with it.

Trice though claims he has been awarded the patent. There are two possibilities now:

1. Edward A. Trice lies.
2. Both WIPO and EPO on-line registers that are updated every day are wrong and they do not include Trice's patent, which was, in fact, awarded.

There is only one way out of this: Trice has to show some evidence that his patent exists.

Article 94 of the European Patent Convention:

"1) The European Patent Office shall examine, on written request, whether a European patent application and the invention to which it relates meet the requirements of this Convention.



(2)63 A request for examination may be filed by the applicant up to the end of six months after the date on which the European Patent Bulletin mentions the publication of the European search report. The request shall not be deemed to be filed until after the examination fee has been paid. The request may not be withdrawn.



(3) If no request for examination has been filed by the end of the period referred to in paragraph 2, the application shall be deemed to be withdrawn"

chessmec: Really, if you lived in the US and made a 10x8 board and the gothic chess pieces of wood and sold it to your grandmother for ten bucks, telling her how to play it, you would be in breach with the patent.

fariborz2: I consider this as a GREAT idea, fariborz2. It would definitely exclude such game (it's name would have to be different from gothic chess, of course), from the patent, if exists.

Trice told me he would investigate why is the application considered withdrawn. I asked him to give me any other evidence that proves the existence of his patent, he sent me a reply with about hundred of words but it was mostly about how much money he makes per day and his contracts with Hasbro and what everything he can do with this site. No evidence whatsoever.

All international PCT patents (which Edward. A. Trice claims to have) can be found here:
http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/
and here:
http://register.epoline.org/espacenet/ep/en/srch-reg.htm

If somebody finds that the patent was awarded to Trice there, I will pay a life-time maharajah membership for him.

Now stop lying Ed. I changed my post for a typo and as you can see, 25 seconds after the original post. What radical change could I make in 25 seconds?

You stopped sending me your bets several rounds ago. I don't know why, I never told you anything about not wanting you to do that.

Oh come on, Cerebro. You either don't know what you're talking about or you're a very bad lawyer. You say that any WTO member country has to respect any patents registered in other member countries??? That is such a nonsense. I have already recommended to Fencer not to renew the "license". It seems you have troubles differentiating between intellectual property law and patent law. I'd wish Trice sued Fencer, I would represent Fencer for free, if he wanted me.

Thad: Until a holder of any American patent registers his/her patent at the European Patent Office or the Czech Patent Office, the subject of this patent can be used no matter whether the holder of the patent agrees with such usage or not. I.e., there's no agreement between Fencer and EdTrice needed so that Gothic Chess could be played here.
