Reviving NextChess Track One, recall 2009 has Mastodon, Modern, Eurasian.

Fantasy Grand, Venator. 2014 Great Shatranj, King's Court, Three-player
(Zubrin). 2015 Schoolbook, Melee, Sissa. I don't think any one of the
contenders has been played publicly ten times. A century ago a few CVs were
enough, what Raumschach, Glinksi's, Bird's morphing into Capablanca and
maybe a dozen more of note? Don't hold out much hope for this forum to do
anything but proliferate in bourgeois artwork. And constructively some few
may have caught attention of reformers outside the confines. Lasker's
essay ''Reform in Chess'' (a book chapter) is also 100 years old soon.
