Overview
What is Gothic Vortex?
Gothic Chess is chess played with two new pieces on a board 10 columns wide instead
of 8.
In depth
A closer look at Gothic Vortex
The new pieces are the Chancellor (Knight + Rook movements) and the Archbishop
(Knight + Bishop movements). Adding such pieces to the game of chess was originally
advocated by former World Champion Jose Capablanca. These new pieces make the
game much more interesting, and shorter in terms of the average number of moves
per game.
