Even Brainking does not do that great with only 200-300 logged on a time. At least Brainking had the sense to shrink a billion CVs to its 30-50, but it needs puzzles to keep that many. To show consistency to those works not having been discussed lately: Let Gilman pick 2 of his 1000 he wants played widely. Let Winther do likewise. 2+2=4. Betza, pick 5 and vote 1. Gifford self-selects 5 he would like widely played and everyone votes 1. Three Falcon arrays. Rococo. That's 4+1+1+3+1=10. FRC as up to 50 arrays nevertheless counts as 1. That's 11. Find some 9-14 more for 25 CVs. Since this list is a re-do, there must have been tacit approval. Some entit(ies) devising 20 CVs along these lines would do better than Brainking. Why? Because we are in a position to say we have Chess, and nobody else does. Of course we have Chess and nobody else does. It's a proven fact over and over again, scientifically, mathematically, metaphorically. Think about it honestly if you can, free-liner designer, benigner resigner, diviner Einsteiner, tree-piner recliner... The set-up would be a buffer of the 20-25 apart from the 4000 other CVs, with provision for Rich Hutnik's Mutating Class for most of the 25, such that there should be withdrawals and new arrivals. Obviously there are incredibly close calls, as mentioned before, where you distinguish two rules-sets earning so close as 6397 and 6389 (primes). Since potluck contests have run their course, try something else. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID NextChess3 does not match any item.
