Thanks for the information about Zillions of Games. It sounds like a reasonable organization. As to Complete Permutation Chess, this is a good 'idea game' of Aronson. I can evaluate because all I added was the Pawn two-move option. Having parallel in Betza's Tutti-Frutti Chess, the implementation of all possible compounds makes especial sense. Aronson e-mailed two years ago also about opportunity to explore Falcon compounds, meaning F-N, F-B, and F-R. I knew right away that was not particularly worthwhile. Falcon does not work well compounded and in fact doing so confounds or even ruins play of stand-alone B, N, and R. This CPChess is not really a very playable game, nor intended to be. Other 'concept games' would be Divergent Chess, Delegating Chess, Avalanche Chess, and a lot of other Betza games for that matter. Monkeying around with F-N, F-B, and F-R also enables one to see clearly the inferiority of N-B(Cardinal) and N-R(Marshall) too, compared to say Gryphon, Cannon, and Canon. Knight and Falcon are not properly compounded at all in serious Chess. They made the right decision when coming up with Queen(R+B) about yr. 1475 in Italy/Spain.
