The next chess is cliche only hours after being spoken, and it's my fault. Almost certainly the next Chess is already within CVPage. We ought to think of the one after that, the way Computers succeeded in killing off FIDE Mad Queen 8x8. The same few objectors who keep popping up reviling the elementary likelihood seem like ringers from Orthodox Chess circles, Editors should take reasonable note. Face it, there are economic consequences when 8x8 forms are abandoned before 2012 or 2020. Joyce's ''Star Trek'' intellect, will, emotion. Hutnik notes the emotion in each individual island of contributor. The brains are all the articles. The will probably escapes CVPage itself, but there are appreciative offshoots. Not only Muller's programs, Strong's once ChessV, Hutnik's IAGO, or the unknown party Hutnik recently addresses with knowledge of Michael Howe. Not singling any out, but surely some strong candidate elsewhere than those sees the handwriting on the wall for ''Mad Queen'' alone. That's what reviving 1990's CVPage Track One seeks, even harking back to Centennial, an early candidate that alone would be improvement enough to FIDE-Lawed 8x8, ruined by over-repetition. What did it take to get from Shatranj to Mad Queen? The Courier Bishop. Period. (& it was always there for 300 yrs.: I left out always with you until the close of the age)
