interesting facts about Gothic Chess
Here are some interesting facts about Gothic Chess that you can't say about regular chess. There are four pieces that move like knights, 4 pieces that move like bishops, and four pieces that move like rooks. In Gothic Chess, you have a quadruple battery on a file. In regular chess, the most you can do is a triple battery, unless you get more rooks or queens with pawn promotions. In Gothic Chess, you can have a triple battery on a diagonal. In regular chess, the most you can do is double battery on a diagonal, unless you get more bishops or queens with pawn promotions. In a closed position, the queen is not the most powerful piece, the Archbishop is. Tell me what you think.

OK it's an interesting fact but like, so? What else are we supposed to say? When ya post to a blog you are supposed to ask things with like much to talk about, not like things where there is practically nothing to say.
LJL, please don't turn the blog into your personal puzzle posting board. If you have something of interest to everyone, feel free to post. You might want to email me before you post additional content.
I agree with lean swimmer girl. It is an interesting fact but not much else to say about it.
In chess there are 3 bishops, 3 rooks, and 2 knights, if you break down the pieces movements. I guess that means Gothic Chess is even more balanced than regular chess.
