Looking for testers and players for a new gaming site

[CapturePlay]

Hey everyone, we've started up a new gaming site and we're opening up it to the public for testing before we officially launch.

The basic idea is that we are taking multiplayer games that have capturing as a core mechanic, like Chess, and giving real value to every individual piece. So when you capture a rook, in addition to putting you one step closer to winning the game, that piece can be used for play again or be sold for actual money. We think that this will create some very interesting new dynamics in these strategy games.

Right now, since we are Beta Testing, anyone can play for free. All we ask is for your feedback to help us improve the site before we officially launch.

Note: Chess players may also be interested in another game we are testing, called Mancala. Mancala is an ancient game with very simple rules (only three), but has stunningly deep game play that exercises the Chess cortex.

Please, come check us out at www.captureplay.com

Chessandpoker, sorry if this seems spammy. That's not our intent.

CapturePlay, consider getting involved with the chessvariant.org site and add your game as a variant there, with rules. I would personally like to review the rules further (well, when I have gotten some sleep).

If you feel it adds something to chess, it may be suitable for the IAGO Clubhouse website. Check the site out here:
http://www.IAGOClubhouse.com . Please let me know if that fits your interest. We could then add your website, and you can then link back to the Clubhouse website.
