Golden Age Chess on a Really Big Board. Play this 16 x 16 variant with several different pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The starting array is wrong. Betza's sample game has Archbishop and Nightrider changed their places compared to the starting array on the preset. Also, here you would have an unprotected pawn in front of the Archbishop, that can be threatened by the Nightrider on the first move. This cannot have been the intention of the inventor. He also clearly states that the "pieces are distributed to defend all the Pawns."

Apologies. I've corrected it, while preserving intact the other setup for games already started and finished.

Thank you, Georg.
