I certainly enjoy this Pages, and some of the designs are interesting and
nice to me, this is a sane entertainment seeing others ideas and show my
own ideas to others too, Chess is not a unique concept, in certain way it
is a meta-concept, and explorations around it is a cool matter. Of corse,
there are ever some predilections, and it is natural, as the natural
resistance to changes, but time to time the things change, if not, we
would be playing Chaturanga or Shatranj now. Changes come after
exploration of new ideas, rejecting old ones and making sustitutions that
colective feels good for the purpose of the game. I like the things we are
doing, if all of us dislike our work, it is better close this nice site
and migrate to any of the multiple Pages in which we can play FIDE-Chess
and write opinions about it. It is good too, but I think that many of us
are happy with the things we can see in The Chess Variants Pages, Not all
the things are superb, but this is the way the things are: Some are good,
some are bad, and it depends on the eye that is watching a particular
thing in a certain moment, not everybody has the same opinion about a
topic everytime, this is one of the biggest characteristics of human
beings, and this characteristic is great, it is one of the paradigms of
freedom.
