In his variability of figures, gess is really more exiting than chess. The rules are so simply, that someone could learn them easily. It is sad that it isn't more popular.

It would be nice to have more than one weak old turbo pacal programm to play against and no place on the internet to play tournaments against humans.

On a real board someone should invent a 'footprint mask' with wich someone could move all nine pieces with one move of his hand. Imaging two players in a tournament and one have only a few second on his clock. In chess he moves his piece very quickly, but in gess he has up to nine pieces to move.
