Trice's Chess

In Janus I open the Janus diagonals first. Most people play the "classical" 1. d4 in Trice's.

Bird's Chess is Trice's Chess with the Q and C switching places. It leaves the pawn in the c-column unprotected. If white plays 1. Cc3 then black has to defend with Nc6 or c6 or Cc6 which forces less variety in play defeating the purpose of expanding the board. I never learned Carrera chess.

A very interesting game where black throws pieces at white to try for a checkmate that is easy enough to see coming. The question is, what can white do about it? Notice the subtle pawn move near the end by white which takes away the last square the black king could reach, then, bang! Queen sack for the win.

So who wants a game? Invite me. I'm finally on Green Chess. I'm playing 2 games of Janus and I'd like to play this variant now.

I played Arch at Janus yesterday and he annihilated me. I need help with my Janus openings.

And I need help with my Trice's Chess openings. Maybe we can trade tips.

The games on the Gothic Chess dot info site should be in a book. They're awesome. 

True! I would pick that up for sure.

Trying Chigorin on Green.  Feels weird.

Anyone have an actual set?

You're good at Chigorin, too! I'd like to learn Stargate next.

Chigorin there is only one strategy for white. Create a thorny pawn perimeter to deter the black bishops and spread your knights out to cover as much ground as possible. Then wait. And thanks.

A funny miniature.

Best comeback ever.

White to move and win. Most people can't solve this.

Qxh5! and now the Chancellor can checkmate all by itself with Ch8.

The board cuts off at the i file on my tablet.

Well the idea is after Qxh5 if the pawn recaptures the queen with gxh5 then Ch8#

It's rare that a Chancellor checkmates all by itself. Usually an Archbishop does that.
