A new -(and much better) sort of Chess game , *Fair-Chess* ! Being interested in chess for two decades now, i designed a chess variant in which the intrinsic White advantage is compensated by removing the f2 and c7 pawns (calibrated by engine analysis). Also, in such a way detailed knowledge of opening theory is not important anymore (but it still looks more like normal chess than Chess960, also called 'Freestyle' nowadays.... ). In addition, a(n) -optional- handicap system which makes playing more fun for both sides, especially the weaker. This would make it a more ''fair'' game between players with very different playing abilities (ratings), playing rated games is still possible with the system i devised (with compensation). Results: longer games, more practice in middle game and endgames, and thus also a better training method. It can revolutionize the (Fide) chess world; see the readme.txt. Available a prototype with the zillions-of-games program; see screenshots
