'MHowe, how could I possibly deny that I've implemented this piece for
the
first time in a variant? It's a simple fact.'
Back to making claims? But it has already been established that both Nova
Chess and Optima included an identical piece and both of them predated
Brigadier Chess. I thought this had already been made clear.
'I am very relieved that you've twice assured us that you don't 'claim
ownership' of this piece, which you haven't published anything on, and
which you didn't invent, and which you didn't even think up. So now I
don't have to be sued in court and can sleep well at night. What a
relief!'
I didn't claim to have invented it, just to have used it in a game with
an earlier date than Brigadier Chess, information which you yourself
requested when you put up the Brigadier Chess page, and which has been
corroborated by others. I don't know who first invented the piece; there
might be earlier applications.
I see no need for the sarcasm. Try to be civil about things, if you
please. This site needs more civility.
I'm curious now, and this is not intended as sarcasm, and feel free not
to answer if you don't see fit, but what is your age, Mats?
