Hey, Jeremy - yes I have looked at Gess, and I think it's an excellent
idea that hurts my head. Simple, brilliant, and leading to possibly
mind-boggling complexity. I like it and I'm afraid to play it. I see LL
Smith wrote a zillions implementation for it; I'd recommend checking it
out. Michael Howe mentioned being interested a year ago... maybe someone
is now. I suspect it's easily as much a game of pattern recognition as it
is a game of chess. 
ps: if you like my games, you're easily impressed - admittedly, I like
'em, but everyone who knows me knows I'm easily impressed - enjoy ;-)
pps: Gess is a great example of an 18x18 with delightfully simple pieces
and rules. I'm almost tempted to play it.
