In 2006, I had the great privilege to play Grandmaster Susan Polgar, the 4-time Women's World Chess Champion. We played the game of Gothic Chess, not "regular chess." In Gothic Chess, there are two more pieces added to the board: A Chancellor that moves like a Knight or a Rook, and an Archbishop which moves like a Knight of Bishop.
There is now a video of this game on YouTube:

Nice, personally i have not explored gothic chess that much. It was a good game, although no opening theory exists for this variation of chess.
Capablanca chess is also similar but the pieces on the backrank are different.

This leads to black having to fight for a draw, so white to move with 1. d3 can actually force a win. |

I never knew Capablanca chess was so good for white. It is like the Atomic chess variant where white is +2 from move 1.
Is Capablanca960 a good alternative, along with practicing gothic chess? So Gothic configuration can be the normal chess and Capablanca960 can be like chess960.
