Oh, yes, they mention him, Peter. I'll go over there and copy the wording.
''Behemoth Chess is a chess variant invented by Donald Seagraves and adds a random factor to the classic chess rules -- a Behemoth, which destroys everything in its path.'' -- their first sentence in the Rules

Through Uwe Kreuzer Brainking was supposed to have Falcon
Chess, but I have kept putting them off, because Europe is well over there, as they said in World War I.
What I admire about Brainking is restricting to 37 Chess Variants making them very intensively played. What I dislike about Brainking is the lack of interaction among players or personalities. It's cut and dried like playing a computer only. There's no highlighting one or a few, or all, CVs for champions, but they have full ratings within each individual CV of everyone who ever played it.
