In the case of no agreement with Ed, I simply would not publish such keys within a shareware version, which would disable the automatic GC setup button, but everything else would work, e) I have invented Capablanca Random Chess, which is - in combination with those other 10x8 and 8x8 variants sufficiently attractive. Moreover you could store any starting array you have set up by hand as PGN and replay it later, if you want, thus e.g. Corner Chess and a lot of other variants are possible, too. Reinhard. PS: Smirf plays traditional chess as well ...
