Hi Ed,

happy new year!

a) following your link you will find: "Gothic Chess was invented by Ed Trice and
is protected by United States Patent # 6,481,716". Does this mean that chess
programmers are restricted in distributing or selling their created programs?
Why creating a patent?

b) additionally what are the consequences in discussing or publishing anything
on Gothic Chess at homesites? Why should someone start any activity concerning
Gothic Chess, when by chance everything possibly could be illegal?

c) your challenge in Philadelphia sounds very interesting. But for programmers
from Germany this would not be really interesting because participating would be
too expensive, especially for private individuals. Are you really interested in
widly spreading your idea, e.g. including Old Europe?

d) are there already any accepted computer protocols for Gothic Chess, or will
programmers be forced to also develop their own individual GUI each?

Regards, Reinhard.
