To Jones, there are some fairy pieces with good clarity (grasshopper, commoner, mastodon, camel, immobilizer, etc.) some with moderate (cardinal, marshal, wildebeest) and many with poor clarity (nightrider, bifurcators, coordinator, almost any from Gilman pages, many Betzas, Jeppseirawan). Poor clarity is main reason why so very few play or are interested in variants. If you like complex compound pieces with poor clarity, good for you, you play those games. Not saying you should not. But my opinion is that more clarity is better and this is page for opinions.
