Jeremy, as I've been trying to explain, there is a stipulation against including more than one of any game from each designated set of very similar games. This is a deviation from following the strict results of the condorcet poll. If more than one game from one of these sets makes it into the top rankings, only the top ranked one will be included, and the rest will not. This stipulation bars the possibility of including both versions of both Grand Shatranj and Great Shatranj, which you doubt hardly anyone wants. I also doubt that hardly anyone wants this, and that is why I have this stipulation in place to keep anything like this from happening. It is because this stipulation is in place that people are free to vote their true preferences without fear of winding up with some very similar games in the tournament. Thus, there is no need to use strategic voting to keep two very similar games from both being included in the tournament. The rules of the poll already keep this from happening.
