My hope is the Chess Variant community can coordinate their efforts to be
able to pick stuff out that works, but also operate in a framework where
the chaos is still essential. I would like to also see a World Champion
at chess variants, so it would generate needed publicity. I know this
desire has been labeled as 'unwanted, unneeded and impertnent' by some,
but I would disagree. As of now Chess Variants are seen as nothing but
gimmicks that people play on the side as distractions, not something that
is also serious an essential to the growth of chess, and the family of
chess games.
