	Fairy chess piece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, the knight in orthodox chess is a (2,1) leaper, meaning it moves two squares in one direction (horizontally or vertically) and one square in the other (note that it could also be described as a (1,2) leaper - there is no significance to the order of the numbers).
		In shatranj, a forerunner to chess, the pieces later replaced by the bishop and queen were also leapers: the alfil was a (2,2) leaper (moving exactly two squares diagonally in any direction), and the fers a (1,1) leaper (that is, it can move one square diagonally in any direction).
		There are three riders in orthodox chess: the rook can move an unlimited number of (1,0) cells and is therefore a (1,0) rider; the bishop is a (1,1) rider; and the queen is a (1,1) or (1,0) rider.

	Chessville - Chess Variants - Gothic Chess: An Introduction - by Ed Trice
		The game of chess has not evolved since, but even those who are aware of the aforementioned bit of chess history are probably unaware that in the 1920s, World Champion José Raoul Capablanca was seriously considering altering the game.
		The result was that the drawing frequency among the chess elite was sharply on the rise.
		Pushing the h-pawn two squares in Capablanca chess, seemingly freeing the king’s bishop, knight, and chancellor, allows a violent attack against h3 and i2 by the enemy archbishop, queen, and bishop, after they line up on the c8-j1 diagonal.

	How To Play Gothic Chess
		The Archbishop has the ability to move like a Knight or a Bishop on any turn, but an enemy King must evade both checking auras in order to successfully be considered out of check.
		In Gothic Chess, this is accomplished by moving the King three squares horizontally (shown by the dots in the left diagram above) and then placing the Rook right beside it (as shown on the right).
		From its present location, an Archbishop is able to jump on the board, like a Knight, or slide diagonally as many spaces as the open board allows, as a Bishop.

	Composite chess game and method - Patent 5511793 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		There have been three notable chess innovations which combined the moves of the rook and knight and also combined the moves of the bishop and knight, but they all utilized eight by ten square asymmetrical boards.
		32,716, to Michael Corinthios, disclose a variation of chess called grandchess, having a nine by nine (eighty-one square) board with the elimination of the queen and the substitution of two princes that have the same moves as the queen of traditional chess.
		The reasons for this are probably due to (a) major difficulties associated with asymmetrical boards as previously mentioned, (b) difficulty relating the identity of two new major pieces with their respective complex moves, and (c) general inertial resistance to changing a firmly established game entity.

		While the Archbishop can be deadly on a crowded board, where pieces may deny flight squares for the King, executing a checkmate on an empty board really requires a great deal of practice.
		In the domain of 'regular' 8x8 chess, the concept of a windmill is the closest cousin to the deadly Chancellor's Vortex in Gothic Chess.
		In Gothic Chess, however, whenever a Chancellor and a Bishop are on the board, you have to be ever-mindful that the deadly vortex could be formed.

	Forum of World Chess federation :: View topic - What do you think about Gothic Chess ? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It´s another kind of chess with a (by feeling) more infinite strategic vision, pieces´ teamwork (they have hardly to calculate values which can vary a lot), it leads to tactically difficult, open, aggressive and mobile matches, often with material sacrifices, and it is more balanced than other Capablanca settings.
		A variant of Gothic Chess in which I believe is "Capablanca Random Chess", yesterday proposed by Reinhard Scharnagl as comment on http://www.chessvariants.org/large.dir/capablanca.html.
		Now I don't know much about their arguments about Gothic Chess but I've read that many GM plays regularly Janus Chess (pratically Gothic Chess with two Archbishops instead of Archbishop+Cancellor) and Peter Leko is a very good player in such variant.

		The only changes are that the QKt is called an Archbishop, and has the added power of a B-that is, it can move either as a B or a Kt, or check, or capture either way.
		The Ruy Lopez cannot be played at all, for the Archbishop would simply take White's KB in reply to B-Kt5 (A5, in the new way of writing the score).
		In the writer's opinion it would be better to put the Archbishop on the King's side, so that the distribution of the heavy forces should be more even across the board.
