This game ended as a win for Vortex "regular", but it could have been drawn in practice. The endgame began as Archbishop + 7 pawns versus Knight + Rook + 7 Pawns, but black had a set of tripled pawns. Most of the ending was Archbishop + 5 Pawns vs. Rook + Knight + 3 Pawns. As a result of this one game, it is apparent that there is a wide open field for setting the piece weights in Gothic Chess. Vortex consistently sowed a score of +165 when it could have been a dead draw, while the Reinhardt version showed -45 near the end, which was closer to the mark.
