All this discussion is great, but in the end, someone is going to have to make a decision. For a decision to be made that will be generally accepted by the CV community will require the decision be made by at least some of the current leading figures in the CV field (eg. David Pritchard, Ralph Betza, John William Brown, etc...). This is why I suggested a standards group be formed. The standards produced would be used mainly for describing, studying and analyzing the chess variant field, and not for trying to force their use by chess variant designers.
<p>By the way, John William Brown has attempted some of this type of work in his book Meta-Chess.
