The stories of the year and the CVs of the decade, i.e. those promising of
f.i.d.e. replacements for small-size 64 squares, generally expected. Actually,
three of the 21 are themselves 64 squares in original embodiment: Black Ghost, Switching, and
Seirawan. And not from these closing ''aughts'' 2000-2009 are really 1960s Modern Chess and
from the 1970s: Three Player, Big Board, and Wildebeest. From rather the
late 1990s: Sissa, Centennial, Kings Court, Black Ghost, Eight-Stone, Melee; those however appear probably all to have been produced under
CVPage auspices or motivation -- with the exception of Betza's Black Ghost.
