I'd originally started a comment, on a related topic, last Friday, but a
thunderstorm fried my internet connections. Courtesy of a borrowed laptop,
I can take up this subject of proliferation again, in a courteous way. 

I first wish to say that this topic is cross-threaded with a few others,
so one would need to read through a few threads from that time Mr. Duke
refers to in the last post here, to understand everything we were and are
discussing. 

Secondly, I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Smith that this is a place for
proliferation. In fact, it's *the* place for experimentation with all
forms of chess and chesslike games, and even not so chesslike. Now, would
Mr. Duke like me to censor the things that come to the CVPages? [Hmmph. I
would suspect that it's rather fortunate for some that I am not the
censoring type. ;-) ] What sorts of things should I remove? 

Lol! Everyone, including me, has candidates I should remove. But you
don't burn the books in the library because there are too many, or even
some you don't like. You categorize and catalog them. Then you can easily
find the ones you will tend to like, and avoid those you probably will
hate. What we really need is a good librarian-variantist to organize this
site. 

Do chess variants form classes? If so, what are they? Are new, or any,
classes appearing now, at this time? Can we foresee new kinds of
games/variants? Or should we stop looking? :-)
