Good game, @vickalan ! I’m glad I got to play this.
And 5 becomes 4...
I'd go further and say if this were properly analysed, opening theory would quickly find ways for black to force a draw. This variety of chess might be at its best right now, in its infancy, before anyone actually looks deeply into it.
I mean, maybe even I can find an opening that draws for black. Let me take a look...
Ok if black opens with
1... d6
2... Bd7
3... 0-0
4... Ke8
5... Rd8
I don't see how white can break this fortress without giving up material, and that probably loses, rather than wins.
I can't say for sure it's drawn, but I wouldn't enjoy being white against someone whose intent is to draw.
I think white can only win if black tries to win, or is not competent enough to hold his defence.
Vickalan posted - "Not sure, but due to the smaller board, White might have a slight advantage in this game (or a little more than compared to normal chess)."
I don't agree, I think the opposite is true. White's advantage is much smaller, black shoukd be able to draw pretty easily. I can't see a GM losing a game of this.
