David,
As Ben said, the CVP tends to be inclusive as far as what is considered a chess variant. There have been several discussions over the years, and it is always too hard to draw a precise line. Ultima was questioned because it didn't have replacement capture. There was a discussion around Nemoroth because the victory ondition was stalemate and the piece interactions were unique. All in all, any game inspired by chess that might interest a variantist would be included.
