I think my quote and your quote are 100% compatible. H.G.'s quote concerns what he feels the page should be, not what it is. And Kevin's quote was a single sentense from is assertion that the Famous category should be ranked above the Acclaimed category. I don't think it sums up Kevin's understanding of this page given all he has written on the subject. So I don't think you've demonstrated any confusion, although there still could be.
And I'm fine with axing the Famous category. Shatranj is the only one I would be hesitant to lose, but perhaps we could make a new page for historically noteworthy variants, such as Shatranj and Tamerlane. Heck, I think we could move Courier Chess off the Recognized page and onto that page as well.
