Right, Joyce's work to date as  whole is 'Below Average' at about 3.5
out of 10.0, for lack of citing other related work.  Studied
simultaneously in 2007, we found Gilman and Gifford mention designers'
CVs at least 2/3 the time, whereas Joyce does so once in 20 separate
games' write-ups, as if in vacuo. Other reasoning of course rates
Gilman's and Gifford's well within Good Category, 6.0 to 7.9, themes for
example.  We even recently rated all 39 CVPage 'Recognized' under thread
'ChessboardMath' and came up with (only) 7.1 average. They took time to
evaluate, whereas yesterday's list of art after Alice by creators Betza,
myself, Aiken, Fourriere was made quickly as favour, meant to CONTRAST or
compare. So self-absorbed, it is surprising Joyce is even acknowledging
V.R. Parton's Alice Chess this thread for between-two-board enforced
movements. Any effort to place one's work is appreciated by CVPage's
1000 contributors, and their better tries cannot be in vain.  Even extreme
difference from prior art is illustrative. Now Joyce expatiates on 'Alice
Modern Shatranj'.  What is that, one wonders? We have to ferret out that
Modern Shatranj is Joyce CV(of course), average in potential playability,
and so 'AMS' is  two-board Alice form of it. Hopefully, Joyce writes up
any and all new Alice-inspired Rules-sets, as surely as we oblige to Rate
them.
