A second reply to Andy.  You are, at least in part, supporting what I have
already said and I set out below some relevant points:

1) If you, or others, find games such as Western Chess, Chinese Chess, Go
or others so rewarding then why are you not spending your time with these
games instead of (apparently) wasting your time on this web site looking
at and arguing about other game(s).
2) You use the word “chaotic” to describe Dragon.  It is my opinion that
the greatest challenge (and hardest work) and greatest achievement (and
reward) of the human mind is to bring about order from chaos.
3) Of the millions of games of Western Chess, Chinese Chess, Go etc. not
one individual game (even amongst those played between Fischer & Spassky
or Kasparov & Karpov) has generated the excitement of, for example the
book “The Lord of the Rings”.  Dragon gives the opportunity to do so.
4) Unlike TigerChess (to which I would again refer you), Dragon is
written
for the few and not the many as the purpose of the game is to produce
quality and not quantity.
5) I quote from Bobby Fischer (in the opinion of many the greatest of
Chess players) when speaking of Western Chess (in the opinion of many the
World’s greatest of games) – “Chess is dead”.
