Greg,

I'm going to abandon my old Capablanca variation, since it is nothing
more than the Carrera and Aberg setup with the same rules as Capablanca's
Chess. But I am working on a new one, which you might be happy to include
in ChessV when it's ready. I was inspired by some other comments you wrote
recently to create a game I am calling Grotesque Chess. For the present, I
will just leave this name as a riddle to be figured out.

I have decided on the setup for the game, but at present, I am still
debating over whether to include free castling, as Aberg's does. It seems
like a nifty idea, but it will make it much harder for me to implement the
rules with Game Courier. I'm going to sleep on it and see what I can come
up with tomorrow.
