Elsewhere needing to be dropped here is this scenario for topic in year
2010. Even Brainking does not do that great with only 200-300 logged on a
time. At least Brainking had the sense to shrink a billion CVs to its
30-50, but it needs puzzles to keep that many. To show consistency to those
works not having been discussed lately: Let Gilman pick 2 of his 1000 he
wants played widely. Let Winther do likewise. 2+2=4. Betza, pick 5 and vote
1. Gifford self-selects 5 he would like widely played and everyone votes 1.
Three Falcon arrays. Rococo. That's 4+1+1+3+1=10. FRC as up to 50 arrays
nevertheless counts as 1. That's 11. Find some 9-14 more for 25 CVs. Since
this list is a re-do, there must have been tacit approval. Some entit(ies)
devising 20 CVs along these lines would do better than Brainking. Why?
Because we are in a position to say we have Chess, and nobody else does. Of
course we have Chess and nobody else does. It's a proven fact over and
over again, scientifically, mathematically, metaphorically.  Think about it
honestly if you can, free-liner designer, benigner resigner, diviner
Einsteiner, tree-piner recliner... The set-up would be a buffer of the
20-25 apart from the 4000 other CVs, with provision for Rich Hutnik's
Mutating Class for most of the 25, such that there should be withdrawals
and new arrivals. Obviously there are incredibly close calls, as mentioned
before, where you distinguish two rules-sets earning so close as 6397 and
6389 (primes). Since potluck contests have run their course, try something else.
