In trying hand at organizing CVPage Track One material, potential OrthoChess replacement, precisely involved is matter of selecting the right Mutators or piece(s) for complexification. Guiding factors have to be aesthetics, precedent, and the feel of Chess. What is needed is like Brainking or Game Courier, place for humans to play, attracting more people, as Duniho laments is needed. That becomes matter for public relations to some extent. Proliferation itself, the logic or the illogic, in CVs is no small part of the equation. An obvious model might be Game Courier, near at hand. But let's not personalize and instead call our system ''PCO'' for Play Chess Variants Online. The following is very elementary but has never been stated or maybe grasped. Suppose initially there are 40 Presets and 400 completed scores each year. Then on the average each CV is played 10 times a year. Five years later there are still 400 completed scores each year, but now 400 Presets. Each CV gets played once a year on the average. For more players, the target group is not professional chess players, but dedicated recreationalists. What they learn in CV-play can make them better, more intelligent people for other activities. They ought to be playing chess derivatives for their own good. Does having so many choices unsorted tend to encourage or deter?
George Duke: | He never responded at all. That and inveterate criticism revoked | permission. Chess Variant Page I am sure will not permit links to | Muller's by mid- to late-2009 and 2010 indicating licensing | unapproved. At Falcon Chess we want nothing to do with him for | months now since when he started his rants. However, Muller is | welcome to enter other topics on CVs here intellectually and look | forward to debate. You seem to have a big attidude problem. In particular, you seem to suffer from an affliction known as 'delusions of godhood'. So you think you can make an agreement, and then simply revoke it because the person you made it with criticizes something you say, or uses a standard term you don't like, or perhaps simply because you are in a foul mood and want to take it out on someone? You must be out of your mind to think you can treat people that way, and even more out of your mind to think they would let you get away with it. Too bad for you that you have picked the wrong person to act out your omnipotence fantasy. There was no legal requirement for me to respond to your granting of permission, but in fact I did, by several posts, and, of course, by actually making the engine. There is no way you can revoke that, I will not allow you to weazle out of our deal. Fairy-Max will remain on my website including the Falcon Chess preset until the end of 2010, as you agreed to. And I am sure CV pages will have no objection that the links to it remain here for as long as I wish, and if they don't, I will hear it from them, not you. If you want to renegociate, fine, but I will only do it through your attorney, as I am fed up with you. I won't be coerced in what to say and what not to say by you, or anyone else!
