I was just looking over the extensability.doc that comes with ChessV, and I was pleased to see that Greg chose one of my games for the example. However, the example doesn't work. Grotesque Chess does not follow the same rules as Capablanca Chess, and so it cannot be derived from it by changing the opening position, as the example does. The two games differ on the rule used for castling. In Capablanca Chess, the King moves three spaces to castle, whereas in Grotesque Chess, the King may move two, three or four spaces to castle.
