To uncover the *laws* underlying any subject matter is the gist of the
scientific paradigm. I am surprised that there are people who think
differently, which is interesting, of course. Another thing: there are so
many chess variants on this site that are better than those Capablanca
variants, with their rather brutal pieces. Personally I even prefer the
Amazon to the Archbishop and Chancellor. The Amazon is easier to handle,
and it must hide to all other pieces, so the games are easier to predict.
