Hans Bodlaender, founder of CVP, introduced this article in 2001 under What's New saying ''with nice background summary of Chess Variants.'' ''Nice.'' Never used at all under What's New in any other case, all approximately (400 times 15 years) 6000 posts. Never ''nice'' or ''excellent'' or ''good,'' the one exception in two decades. Not by Bodlaender, David Howe, or Joe Joyce. It is just not done in that one-line, up to 20 words, introduction there. Scroll down week by week currently, or three years back, and read what each post consists of, where to click at ''What's New.'' It is traditionally only descriptive. Never ''nice.'' I have read every CVP post since 1996 and am still complimented by founder Bodlaender's favourable description. Now the other long Falcon article gets more Poors than Excellents, because it gives service to the prolificists' ethos, I have come to believe.
