	The chess games of Robert James Fischer
		I might be able to buy Fischer random as chess, since they are using the other 959 positions to play chess, but Gothic Chess I believe uses a piece called a "chancellor" with powers of rook, bishop, and knight.

		Supported by a knight that is developed in a normal fashion, the bishop in Gothic Chess strikes towards the interior of the board from inside the knight, rather than on the outside of the knight as is the case in the Ruy Lopez or Nimzo Indian openings.
		In Gothic Chess, white can push such a pawn, since the board is wider and the knight does not impede its deployment.

		The language was in decline by the mid-6th century, due in part to the military defeat of the Goths at the hands of the Franks, the elimination of the Goths in Italy, massive conversion to primarily Latin-speaking Roman Catholicism, and geographic isolation.
		Gothic art.'' Gothic architecture characterizes any of the styles of European architecture, particularly associated with cathedrals and other churches, in use throughout Europe during the high and late medieval period, from the 12th century onwards.

		For most technical rules like "The act of moving the pieces, touching of the pieces...", "The Gothic Chess clock procedures" you should read FIDE laws of Chess that should be the same with these of this game.
		In order to play someone a good Gothic Chess game he needs to get a feeling of how strong are these 2 new pieces(assuming he knows the other "Chess" pieces), but also if the strength of the other "Chess normal" pieces remains the same in this game......

	Forum of World Chess federation :: View topic - What do you think about Gothic Chess ? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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.
		Since Gothic Chess has a fixed starting position, with time, the best opening lines will be discovered and they will evolve into an opening theory, just like in classic chess.

		Deflection is played on the same board, and with the same pieces, as Gothic Chess.
		The board is 10 columns wide by 8 rows deep, and the piece set includes all of the usual chess pieces plus two new pieces for each player, the marshall and the archbishop.
		All of the usual rules of chess apply in Deflection, with only one minor change, which is made necessary by the added width of the board: In castling, the king always moves three squares toward the rook.
