Re: General rules
Yet some general reflections. Balance. It's often been claimed that game balance is not that crucial, because any size of unbalance can be overcome by always playing two games, one of each color. Reductio ad absurdum, this argument would be equally valid for a perfectly unbalanced game: white always...
