Since you're lobbying for your favorite games, I'll add a few words on
some of them, then do some lobbying of my own. It's just possible that
we're biased, because we created the game, but Kamikaze Mortal Shogi is
truly a great game. I would even recommend it above my other games. I
daresay I even find it more interesting than Shogi.

Moving on to Pocket Polypiece. During the 43-square contest, I thought
this game would be the strongest competition for my own entry, Voidrider
Chess. I was surprised that it didn't win a placing. When I played it
against Zillions, I found it to be an intriguing game with interesting new
tactics.

I'll start my lobbying with recommendations among my own games. Besides
Kamikaze Mortal Shogi, my favorites among my own games currently include
Bedlam, Voidrider Chess, Interdependent Chess, Clockwork Orange Chess,
Eurasian Chess, British Chess, Grand Cavalier Chess, and Storm the Ivory
Tower. Bedlam, Clockwork Orange Chess, and Interdependent Chess may appeal
to fans of Shogi and Chessgi. Eurasian Chess, British Chess, and Grand
Cavalier Chess may appeal to fans of Chinese Chess or Grand Chess. Storm
the Ivory Tower may appeal to fans of Chinese Chess, Korean Chess, or
Smess.

Among other games, my favorites include Shogi, Chinese Chess, and Hostage
Chess. David Pritchard called Hostage Chess the Chess variant of the
decade, revoking that title from Magnetic Chess. Unfortunately, my very
favorite game can't be done on Game Courier. But, for the sake of
context, I'll mention that it's Knightmare Chess.
