Gess is billed as a Chess/Go variant and there are no royal pieces. Player
wins by destroying a certain position, namely a ring. So the ''most
complete answer'' of David Howe is not the final word and actually
inadequate, those 9 points unsatisfactory. What is a CV anyway? A perennial
question to ask. The particular CVPage ethos is rather that it is an art
form. That is their functional definition of CV: art form. After all, most
variant themes that come up, Mutators or new piece-types as one will, have
''been thrashed out before,'' in fact again and again and again within
CVPage. Heck, keep them coming and once in a while there is a new idea.  In Howe's list of 9, look at point 8, for no hidden information as one criterion. Kriegspiel has hidden information, and everyone agrees that is vintage, even standard chess-form, having found place throughout the literature.
