Dear sir! Thank You for Yours comment about Grand Chess 2.But I would like
to dispute some Yours positions. In my opinion Amazon,General or Mahardja
is not bad piece if it can a chechmate the king alone.It even brings some
interesting moment to the game.For example:the velosity,dynamics and
complication to the game. Christian Freelings Grand Chess is
beatiful,fantastic,famous game and nobody deny this, because this game is
step ahead over classic chess. In one variant this game(Grand Chess 2)
main purpose was: preserve all classic chess endgames ideas( including
pawns promotion in last line) plus to complete all pieces combination to
the logical ending.You are right about name of this game,may be it will
be
better if it named like 'Grand Chess variant'. In any way,only time and
practise can show the possibilites of this variation of game.
