'Real' chess - the Best chess variant? - 2006/02/04 01:28
This is from the www.chessvariants.com:
"'Real chess' is 1 of those games in the family which predates Fischer's proposal by more than half a century.
This game was swiftly invented by E. I. Csaszar in 1934. (...)
The game starts with only the pawns on there repsective opening squares.
(...)
Players put a piece on their baselkine one by one: white places a piece, then black places a piece. (...)
This version adds a new element to the game: the skill of scarcely making a good setup. Already after the setup phase, before a `real' move has been eventually played, one of the players may have a possibly decisive advantage (for players of approximatly even strength)."
IMHO this is by far the best chess variant, and the only one that really improves on current FIDE version. All those new pieces and different sised boards in most of the other variants are too puerile and sometimes plain silly. Fischerrandom is ... well, too random.
Does anyone agree?.
