Thanks for the link. I see the opening position is different and I understand what you say about the undefended i pawn etc. This clearly drives different strategical considerations, especially in the opening. But when you say the "method of playing" is different is I still have trouble. I think of the method of playing being: put the pieces on the board, a bishop moves like this, an archbishop like that, to capture an enemy piece.... In that context the method of playing (other than where you initially put the pieces) looks pretty identical to me. Not trying to be obtuse, just trying to understand. You have weathered a lot of hostile fire and I give you credit for that. I also wish you success in your venture. One last question (and I may have missed the answer to elsewhere in the thread) and I'll leave you in peace. If someone writes a "purely" Capablanca chess engine that allows the user to set up an arbitrary position (a setboard command) is that a violation of your patent? Thanks. Dan H.
