I should be in bed, it's practically time to get up, but.
At dinner this evening, we started talking about chess variants: Kriegspiel and Transfer chess. Somebody said Transfer chess is 'just fun' isn't it? And, as usual, the answer to that is people who are really good and ambitious at something aren't likely to separate the notion of 'fun' from 'trying hard' and 'winning'. So, no, not 'just fun'. What about a Grandmaster? I imagine the better you are at chess, the harder you'd try and the show more more removed it would be from this notion of 'just fun'.
It made me long to play again, talking about Transfer Chess, it is really a great variant of the game.
Kriegspiel must be too, but I've never played it. I did notice a rather interesting looking paper on it recently:
The dark side of the board: advances in chess Kriegspiel1 which you can find here: http://www.cs.unibo.it/pub/TR/UBLCS/2010/2010-06.pdf
Kriegspiel must be much harder than real chess, much harder than blindfold chess. Somebody asked this evening if Nunn was a particularly strong practitioner. I haven't found this out. I'm a bit surprised there don't seem to be world championships...not for humans, anyway. show less
