2008-01-02Dracobest UnverifiedPoorAdding a queen in the corner just make it wierd. Also, something that has nothing to do with this Chess Variant but...

2007-05-24M Winther Verified as M WintherPoorIn Active Chess the bishops are inevitably going to be exchanged on the h-file. As it is too easy to get rid of the bishops it's a poor variant. The positional content is depleted when the bishops disappear. /MatsEdit
