Some comments from my side on the potential candidates for future Featured CVs:

  • Superchess: there are (too) many games named "Superchess". You mean Superschaak obviously. I see it more as a open concept rather than a specific game. It remains that the author (Van Haeringen) sells very nice fairy pieces, in wood, excellent size and high quality.

  • Musketeer Chess: also good for the concept and the availability of the plastic pieces. However, the page describing it here is of a very low quality and has never been corrected and improved. Second, if Musketeer Chess is recognized, it should be mentioned Pioneer Chess from Mats Whiter which precedates it and which is almost the same game.

  • In my recent book ("More Chess and More Than Chess") just published, I described several CVs, in addition to my own creations, that could be good candidates: Expanded C., Sac C., Opulent C., Elven C., Gross C., Hectochess, Enhanced Courier C.
