Dear friends!I would like show to You shortest  'fool mat' in Grand and
Gothic Chess.
Shortest mat in Grand Chess!

1.Rook jf1- Cardinal f7(Moves like B+N)
2.Rook ad1- Cardinal e6
3.Cardinal e1 -Marshall e7(Moves like R+N)
4.c4          -Cardinal d4x

Shortest mat in Gothic Chess (Opening set up)- R,N,B,Q,M,K,C,B,N,R. In
Gothic Chess Marshall(moves like R+N-named Chancellor),Cardinal(moves
like
B+N-named Archbishop)

1.Ch3-f5
2.Ai5-h6
3.Ag6x.

I think it is good example shows us where safety of King is higher. In
Grand Chess safety of King is higher then in Gothic Chess.
