Baseline chess with Fischer rules. Start with dropping major pieces on baseline, a variant that uses rules from Fischer Random Chess but is not random. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Interesting comment on possibly making the Bishops passive. The proof for me could only be 'in the playing'---and in Buffalo with time-crunch I don't get much opportunity. However, I used to fianchetto both my Bishops, even as Black against GMs---and this took an extra move to play Bb7/g7 compared to having the Bishop already in the corner :-).

I've sent some more greeting by private e-mail.
