Rococo. A clear, aggressive Ultima variant on a 10x10 ring board. (10x10, Cells: 100) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Why is every different opening set-up of Carrera-Capablanca on 8x10 or 10x10 considered a different CV? It's the *ONLY* CV we allow umpteen CVs just for shifting to better array. Each designer's silly happy scream that hey he's got one, a new Carrera-Capablanca. Rococo starts Immobilizer-Withdrawer-LongLeaper-King-Chameleon-LongLeaper-Advancer-Swapper, that is, IWLKCLAS. If someone suggests Rococo as IWCKLLAS, bingo, is that a new CV? Of course not. That would be juvenile, and unfair to Aronson and Howe. Otherwise then like there are 40 or 100 Carrera-Capablancas, there can be 50 Rococos just by shopping around the starting array. The illogic and bad manners are self-evident, but the hard-core personalized CVers hopelessly will never stop it for Carrera's, because Capa is still a remembered Ortho-GM or something, though he died during World War II 65 years ago.
