[Game log #110]
Here's the game between Okisato and Heather from Chapter 172. This time, it's a Gothic chess game, meaning the board is 10x8 and the empress, also know as the chancellor, which moves like a knight and rook, and the princess, also known as the archbishop, which moves like a knight and bishop, are now part of the game. Gothic chess is a chess variant that improves upon Capablanca chess by rearranging the starting pieces in order to make things more fair.
I have no idea if there's an analysis engine for Gothic chess, but here's the game anyway.
Note: H = Princess/Archbishop while E = Empress/Chancellor.
