Okay, I see it as they, OrthoChess of F.I.D.E. 64 is on the defensive, and
we are not. Not only the tide of history. There's a big group with one CV
rules-set and also there is supposed to be some 10x10 tournament they have
this month or next. Then over here with us are 3000 or 5000 CVs equally
viable as a very first approximation, and ultimately highly differentiable
into dozens of levels of acceptability by careful trial and discernment.
The question is, who has the upper hand? Not the old-style same-style OrthoChess at last any more.  Our 3000
have to yield presentable and marginally better than the others 50-75 approved
CVs. Then how to keep those core CVs intact? Some of the 50 or 75 CVs
featured in some CVPage cousin, or Strong or some other programmers'
engines gone online, will be born from the Recognized List and some from
our NextChess list and some from the current tournaments. Then when
they're  chosen, how to make it difficult to dis-lodge them? Suppose
Eurasian is one of the first 3 or 4 featured(with approval of inventors). Then Eurasian has to become
difficult to dislodge, while on the periphery are the trial ''Beta
CVs'' that, if there are not play and approval, pass from being #40 or #50
back into the pool of 5000 CVs. In a cycle, with a nucleus not changing very much, but none has to be consigned to oblivion. There's always a chance.
