For September Quiz question #7, Novo Chess is the only known CV with railroads so far. This Novo is a better game, produced in the 1930s and marketed after the war, than more modern cut-and-pastes. (you know, the ones in the majority that take phony glad-handing for attention by established regulars) The criticism of this Novo is over-complexity.

That's five of the ten questions answered so far.
Since #10 is a subjective self-production option, #11 is the substitute tenth question: for a CV piece worth 3.88, justifying the answer. It's the follow-up comment at ChessboardMath11 all comments 3.October.2009 substituting #11 for #10.
