Originally posted by YugaYeah I created them as 7/14s then asked if I should can them and remake them as 3/x. Gambit said we're two very fast players, don't bother and he was quite right.

Edit: First move made. 🙂 Will try to move a bit faster in the hope that everybody doesn't grow too old between rounds. 😉
Originally posted by zebanoThe starting position in your games with GambitAccepted is identical to the start position in my prior games with GambitAccepted except the e file rook and d file queen were switched. (The start position in my games with seraphimvulture is the same as in yours except the R on the g-file and and the K on the e-file.)
In the first game, I think 3... b[6] allowing 4. d5 giving white both a spatial plus and two very good bishops was bad but to follow it up with 4... d6 locking in blacks bishops was simply too slow though 4. ...e6 allow 5. d6.exchange sac on move 11.good variations but no definite mate. all my pieces developed against blacks weak kingside.other game went from bad to worse.
Originally posted by YugaDue to the combined factors of the symmetry and better developed pieces, shuffle chess is likely easier to draw. Generating imbalances requires more creativity.
It's very easy to lose early in shuffle chess, as the pieces are better developed than in regular chess (R's centralized, B's on long diagonals, K's in the corner). Shuffle chess is may be more drawish, I think, as the rooks may be traded easily, but players may struggle greatly dealing with the opening positions. 🙂

Zoltan Varga vs Alexander Morozevich (Here's a crazy shuffle chess game, probably FischerRandom, but there was no castling in this game.)
