John Smith recently says he is excellent at designing CVs within certain
parameters, some constraints being given. The following challenge is not
unprecedented. Around 2004 Roberto Lavieri called for CVs without capture
or promotion; and I made Dice-Mate and Antoine Fourriere Bifocal. Here in
2009 Design a CV fitting certain other criteria:
(1) Devise CV where prime numbers figure in some fashion. Or Fibonacci. Or
perfect numbers.
(2) Design CV without a board, for example, where pieces competitively
mutate until one team's piece(s) exhaust.
(3) Battle Chieftain has one piece-type, legitimately. Design CV with no
piece-types. Instead, for one example, have a royal square to be
''checkmated'' by confinement of moving squares. Is it Go then? Or Go-like? Or think of something else befitting no piece-types, while yet staying reasonably Chess-like.
(4) Design CV based on Joe Joyce's Garage (see that recent thread).
(5) CV using Luotuoqi as finalized(year 2003).
(6) CV keying off Meiriqi(Beautiful Sun), reducing its concept to manageable 8x8.
(7) Design some CV with legitimate move retraction without time travel.
(8) Devise a CV based on sound. (9) Write a suitable prequel to Nemeroth including rules-set. (10) There are very few three-player Chesses, and none of them are much more than adequate for what David Pritchard called a natural idea.
At start of 20th Century David Hilbert posed couple of dozen unsolved math
problems for the century. The list will be extended beyond ten of
unsolved or unexplored CV problems.
