http://aagenielsen.dk/twintowers.png This board position I'd like to name The Twin Towers! The situation emerged in a Historical Hnefatafl 13x13 game against Casshern. Black's Twin Towers are safe and cannot be touched by white. In the twin towers black can lie in wait until the six free whites are...

Right now an American Championship Tournament 2018 is running (North & South America). What about a European Championship Tournament 2018 beginning Sep. 15th? For players not in North or South America and not already grandmasters. Winner is International Master. If the World Championship is run as p...

Here's my proposition for the World Championship tournament rules this year, starting Sep. 15th. Notice that a short route to the final is proposed for the masters. It's proposed that only group winners proceed to the next round. But all of us who don't expect to make it all the way, should join an...
