Analyzing Capablanca's chess

I am not insisting anyone. The final decision is of course yours whether you want to keep the default as Capablanca's chess and Capahouse or Trice's chess and Trice's crazyhouse.

And that Edward Trice scammer might be some other person. Ed Trice is a 2400+ rated player in conventional chess.

I found some interesting material to study for anyone who thinks it is not so easy to win as White player in Capablanca's chess.
Take a look at this link: gothicchess.info/capablanca_flaws_01.shtml.
And take your time to read this PDF file for 23 pages: gothicchess.info/capablanca_problems.pdf.
In www.chess.com forum, he also mentioned to me that he recently designed another gating game called Stargate, that is more like a war game instead of openings and tactics and so it is one of the most interesting chess variants to play that is worthwhile of trying out by everyone whoever plays conventional chess and chess variants. Developing a chess engine for this chess variant is a very hectic task.
Note that Seirawan chess and Musketeer chess are gating games. Complete rules of Stargate is available in this PDF file for 98 pages: gothicchess.info/Stargate.pdf.

In Stargate, one piece teleports other pieces, another piece exerts a force field, another piece zaps opponent's pieces turning them into stone where they are and another piece brings back one's own zapped pieces into normal form.
Stargate is an interesting and different type of chess variant instead of just a conglomeration of conventional chess pieces and fairy chess pieces from different regional chess variants, just like other chess variants. Stargate is unique in the sense that it has got lots of new fairy chess pieces with new types of movements that are never seen before itself.
"Ed Trice is a 2400+ rated player in conventional chess."

Lol
@asdfisuahw: Also please take a look at this link:
www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/adding-new-variants?page=2

on why www.chess.com changed initial popular Capablanca's chess set up as default to Trice's chess.

This is only to present materials to study by everyone during their spare time to acquire more knowledge and not making requests or giving orders to anyone.

Trice's chess is available by default to play at www.chess.com.
At www.pychess.org, we can have something different to play by default, Capablanca's chess, not the same, eventhough it is skeptical that there are defects in the starting position that leads to a forced win for the White player.

Trice's chess is always available to play at www.pychess.org by using alternate starting position of Capablanca's chess. Just that it does not have a separate rating system, but it all comes under combination of all other alternate starting positions in Capablanca 960.
So Ed Trice's analysis and everything is BS. He's basically like a sleazy car salesman.

Please see here for further information: www.reddit.com/r/chessvariants/comments/n5qtbi/10x8_chess_variant_comparison_using_fairy/

Out of the main recognized variations of 10x8 chess, his version is one of the most balanced, and is essentially tied with Embassy Chess.

From an aesthetics viewpoint, which is very important to me as well, Embassy is better because it keeps the king and queen better, rather than the ugly insertion of a chancellor in Trice's chess.
