Wanting to complete the project by 2029 for the upcoming thirties, it is
time for another of several waiting nominations to be slotted.  At this juncture there are several authorship nominations for variety without materialized CV yet. It means last-minute announcements. Okay,
Transactional Chess(#15) was placed over six months ago,
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=25116. The comment placing it at Aronson's write-up instead of over here is linked above and the order will be carried forth. Aronson subsequently self-nominated Not Particularly New. Also in the interim Winther expanded Bifurcators(#1) to include deflectors, 
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=26403, rather than addressing request here, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=25270, to conflate the many Bifurcators to a couple of coherent rules-set mechanisms.  Two steps sideways, one step forward oblique.
This NextChess8 will have to morph to ''-9'' in order
to keep each later NextChess under readable 26 comments, which 26th lops
the first one. Here were the latest rationale and grounds for extending the project past 50 CVs as necessary, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=25134. These are all Track I and a separate Track II will begin in 2011.  Track II, identifiable just as being farther afield from standard western Chess, has already nominations Tetrahedral, Rococo, and Philosophers. They will not be mutually ranked until there are first at least 12 nominations, then a pairwise comparison Tetrahedral to Rococo will begin their ordering.  Which of the two is better?  We shall think of Track Two as more long-term rather for the 2040s. The nomination order is the priority of eventual placement with explanation, and the next ones Track One are to be, whilst they are all temporarily ranked last: 25) CV by G. Gifford other than below Joyce-nominated Time Travel, 26) CV by J. Smith, 27) CV by C. Gilman, 28) Aronson-self-nominated Not Particularly New, 29) Time Travel. Anyone can nominate a #30, or sure to be #s 31-36 in challenging conventional, popularizable categories of reform omitted so far. The unconventional will be the separate described Track Two.
