    We raised $15 million for the match.

    And I have some of Fischer's games he played on our web server,

    g-file= bishop + knight

    e-file= rook + knight.

    castling = 3 moves.

    pawns can promote to the 2 new pieces also.

    You now know the rules.

Hi Ed

how are you doing?

can you tell us who were the companies that financed 15 million $?

Instead of Fischer wasn’t there other more reliable bankable players?

That looks like Capablanca Chess. He played some games of it too. I wonder who made the board with the extra pieces for him.

Invented in the 1920s.

Capablanca's Chess can always be won by white since there is a well known flaw in the setup. Think about it. If a genius like Capablanca couldn't convince others to adopt his recommendation there HAD to be something wrong with it.

And 80 square chess was invented in 1617 by Pietro Carrera. Changed in 1874 by Henry Bird. Then came Capablanca (1924) and Trice (2000).

Unfortunately, my favorites are not on the list. Therefore Chess960.
