The last part of what Joyce describes is Chess with Different Armies. In fact, Ralph Betza thinks CDA is Track One material. Betza holds up CDA as his one great contribution. Like Pocket Mutation CDA seems to be played less now even in CVP. /// Right, that's surprising. I was figuring you saw my comment. The two comments appear written from the same template simultaneously, rbn etc. -- I confirm Joyce's was posted simultaneously when I looked for mine before anyone could have read throught it. /// Probably even Lasker himself proposed RBNQKNBR around the time Capablanca did 8x10 (RN) and (BN), but I have to look it up. Hutnik is referring to this nearchess at 'multiformations'. http://www.chessvariants.org/displaycomment.php?commentid=18623
