Assunto: gothic mimic-king capablanca chess

interesting reading thus has taken me to the conclusion Gothic lacking imagination changed order of four pieces of classic game capablanca to take credit for an entirely new creation.

wording on the gothic chess fiction site thus: Welcome to the Gothic Chess Federation. Gothic Chess is played on an 80 square board that is 10 columns wide and 8 rows in height. There are two new pieces added to the board. These pieces are called the Chancellor and the Archbishop.

new of course being entirely questionable after the creation of the great Jose Raul Capablanca. archbishop and chancellor are previously much tested members of the chess army in variations as demonstrated on chessvariations.com

firstly capablanca chess and further here capablanca's chess. comparably, borrowed ideas, credit taken for moving order of few pieces hence gothic chess

it remains a mystery why wishiwashi management allows for farcical gothic instructions always ... ~*~
