Falcon Chess patent process started in 1992 before Chess Variant Page existed. So, it is more logical for us to disparage CVPage's coming into existence and accompanying proliferation of mediocre games' (mixed in with some excellent ones to be sure) slightly watering down significance of time-tested games patents worldwide, going back to Scrabble, Monopoly and many others. However, courtesy of all Editors Howe, Aronson, Quintanilla, Good, Fourriere the last year and a half especially has enabled us to find niches where I contribute within their 'multiform ethos' as much or more than anyone else, whilst simultaneously preserving Patent USP5690334(and other foreign) in sure status of full extended rights.
