I just read through some of the comments on here about ChessV and Gothic
Chess. Some were not 100% on the mark. First of all, ChessV was given a
one-year Gothic Chess license from November 2004 to November 2005. ChessV
played in the first, bi-annual Gothic Chess Computer World Championship.
You can read more about this on chessville here:

There was also some discussion about the graphic which was displayed by
the ChessV engine. Greg is confusing two issues. I did contact him about
something regarding Gothic Chess, but it it was not the item he mentioned.
After his license expires and is not renewed, the subsequent versions of
ChessV could not contain a Gothic Chess setup, and that is all.

I also contacted somebody about an image shown on Wikkepedia under Gothic
Chess. It was ORIGINALLY one I had drawn and is widely in use. The one
that replaced it was a ChessV board's image of Gothic Chess.

Again, I believe the sands of time have led to Greg confusing issues. I
never said what was represented by him or others.
