I've considered the vast majority of the chess variants on these pages,
and, after some study, research, and play-testing, I found a grand total
of two that I feel are worth my time to play: Gothic Chess & Omega Chess,
and neither of them are on the list...

 Glenn said, '...nothing bigger than 10x10. The same factor kept Omega
Chess off the list, and Grand Chess was one of the last three games to be
placed on the list.' A 10x10 board has 100 squares ... Omega Chess has 104
squares ... are you seriously telling me that you're omitting one of the
best Chess variants (IMHO) because it's a mere 4 squares over you
maximum?

 You also mention that you've added Grand Chess to the list. I'm all right
with Grand Chess, but I feel that it's an inferior version of Capablanca's
Chess, and Gothic Chess is simply an improvement on Capablanca's Chess
(the final evolution, if you will), and with other inferior variations
like Modern Chess and Not-Particularly-New Chess, I find myself wondering
why Gothic Chess isn't an option either...
