If you are looking at my crazy chess website and thinking about learning to play it, don't think about it too hard right now. I'm in the midst of fine-tuning some major rule changes for a much improved, streamlined version of several central game mechanics and will probably make a video about it someday soon.

The odds are very slim that this message is actually applicable to anyone at all reading it, but I felt I had to put it out there.

It's VERY relevant to me. I learned about Veney just before being admitted to hospital and I've been thinking about it a little every day. As soon as I get out I'm making a board. I especially loved the story section on your website. It's just beautiful. So many beautiful ideas expressed there. I also just read the excellent "A Chess Story" by Stefan Zweig which has had me thinking about chess.

I'm glad to have provided something to help keep you busy in there! Thanks for your kind words. And thank you also for tipping me off to this chess story. I was reading about the author today, and I will definitely check it out. Get well soon!
