I wonder why the bias against large variants?  A year-long PBEM tournament
seems like an ideal way to play large variants.  Even at three turns per
week, a pretty slow pace, even a very large variant should be finished
within the year.  The Chu Shogi sample game in Schmittberger's 'New Rules
for Classic Games' runs 164 moves, and Chu would have to be considered
quite a large variant by any standards.  I personally happen to be a fan
of large and complex variants and would have liked to see more of them on
the list.  Regardless, it's still a good list and should be an interesting
tournament.
