Capablanca Chess and Gothic Chess are different. There is no prior art for Gothic Chess because I was the first person to separate the King and the Queen. Capablanca has 3 diagonal pieces all in a row: Arcbishop, Bishop, and Queen. They are all gunning in the vicinity of the undefended i-pawn, which means castles kingside is suicide. None of these gross imbalances exist in Gothic Chess. THEY ARE DIFFERENT, ok, as different as night is from day. I played Capablanca's chess half a dozen times a day for over a year, looking for the way to draw as black that Capa found. There is none.
