Trice's Chess

I chatted with the inventor of Gothic Chess twice this week through his Discord channel. I was surprised to learn that Trice's Chess is technically different from Gothic Chess. The original game has a 50-move rule. The newer version has a 100-move rule. 

Ed explained: "In 2003 and 2004 I started computing endgame tablebases for 10x8 chess with the Archbishop and Chancellor. To my surprise, the longest win with only 4 pieces was a mate in 72. This was a pawnless endgame. Queen + Pawn vs. Queen required 98 moves before the first Pawn advance. It didn't seem right to have these positions declared as arbitrary draws. So in 2019, when I changed the name to Trice's Chess, I officially incorporated the 100-move rule also."

So here is the thread for those who want to play this game. Gothic Chess is no more.

A great attack of a Fianchettoed position.

Thanks for the info! :-)

Have you played Trice's or Janus Chess on greenchess.net?

@shogi I can't figure out where to go on Green Chess to find any games. They seem to be lumped into categories with more than one interpretation. For example, there is a category "Large Board Games." Is Janus a large board game? It is 10x8 so I would think so. But all the games in there are even larger. Then there is another category "Uses Fairy Pieces." Well most variants do, so is it a large board or one with fairy pieces? It makes no sense to me. I gave up trying to figure it out.

Forced checkmate in 268 moves.

Here you go: https://greenchess.net/variants.php?new&cat=3

Ljlchess, you and I are scheduled to play in round 3 of the Chancellor's Cup. You're white. I'm done with the first two rounds.

I haven't figured out how to navigate that site yet either

This is the most complicated game I've ever seen! Can someone explain what's going on?

Gothic and Janus are under fairy pieces variants.

A great comeback win. I wish I could play like this! This variant has many facets beneath the surface.

It looks like black blunders 2 pieces in a row but it's really a deep checkmate trap with a queen sacrifice to ignite it at the end.

I'll play anyone one move per day, or more, in either Trice's Chess or Janus Chess. I am better at Janus.

Greenchess.net is turn based only with a max of a couple weeks per move.

What's the best first move in Janus? How about Trice's Chess?

What's the difference between Bird's Chess and Carrera Chess? I used to play the latter on Jocly.
