I think we can have a larger tournament than three people. A subject thread
is not the best way to generate interest in a tournament. Making a page for
it will generate more interest. I have a couple ideas for successive
tournaments. One is to reconceptualize the Next Chess idea. Let's accept
that Chess is an excellent entry level game for the world of Chess
variants, and there is no need to remove it from this status. The question
then turns to, what would be a good second game to help enlighten Chess
players that there is more to Chess than just one game? This should be
something similar enough to Chess that the learning curve is small for
someone who already knows Chess, and playing it should feel like playing
Chess, just with something new. We could have one tournament featuring such
games, which I think would be a good way to introduce people new to Chess
variants to what Chess variants have to offer. For a succeeding tournament,
we could focus on our favorite novelty Chess variants. For me, Eurasian
Chess still fits the bill for the first tournament idea, while Storm the
Ivory Tower fits the bill for the second.
