Odd I’m quite old and love strategy games but for some reason have never played this one. Definitely need to buy a board and try it out. I prefer to buy high quality game boards so if any avid fans of the game have a preference please let me know.

I like the recent variant on websites and apps where a random neutral start position (about ten normal ply moves in) is used to reduce the effect of opening books.

I used to play this game with my grandmother when I was a teenager. I probably need to buy this game again. Lots of good memories playing this game.
