Thanks to Charles Daniel's recent input and rethinking our bias against cornered Falcon, because of dislike of Omega Chess, we now consider FRNBQKBNRF the second choice. The top three are close and should submit sometime to a vote if say there become ten or more participants weighing in, however informally, who will have studied the different arrays, instead of mainly our usual couple of confidantes. Omega's introduced pieces are on the edges and we never liked that game ever since the 1997-1999 period. But re-appraisal shows certain advantages to Falcon being there by contrast. So, after RNFBQKBFNR we have the Cheops' Falcon Chess FRNBQKBNRF presently. Thanks for recent inquiries. Hoping by these updates to avoid the boringly-extended debates on Carrera-Capablanca initial positions, none of which in the end are worth much, in view of factors under ongoing thread 'FatallyFlawedM/C' that Marshall and Cardinal are inherently inappropriate under close scrutiny.
