David Short wrote on Wed, Jan 15, 2003 04:15 AM UTC:Excellent ★★★★★Are there any other pages on this web site which show sample games of
the chess variants which are published on this site? I just submitted
another sample doublechess game to the editors which I hope they will
soon add to this page. People who are unfamiliar with doublchess can
download the zrf for it at
<p>http://www.chessvariants.com/index/zillions.php?itemid=zDoubleChess
<p>(or go to http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/doubleboard.html
and click on the link next to the yellow box with the letter 'Z'
in it about half-way down the page which indicates it is the link
for the Zillions of Games file for Doublechess)
<p>and open the file inside your ZILLIONS OF GAMES program, and when
selecting a side to play, select BOTH white and black. This allows you
to move the pieces for both sides. In this way you can play through
the sample doublechess games on this page.

vs. erik) is noteworthy because the way the game developed was
rather unusual. Almost all of the play occurred on the 'queenside'
(files A to H) with very little piece or pawn development on the
'kingside' (files I to P). Normally most doublechess games are a little
more balanced than this one. I thought it worthy of publication.
The game also featured some interesting exchanges of material and
sacrifices. It's worth playing through and taking a look at it if
you have the doublechess zrf on your ZILLIONS OF GAMES.
