So far, Joe Joyce, Vitya Makov, Nicolas Wolff, Carlos Cetina, mirari, Jose Carillo, Sam Trenholme, and myself are the only ones to explicitly state our intention to sign up for the tournament. So the list of games to be played looks like this:
Eurasian Chess (Fergus Duniho)
Modern Carrera's Chess (Sam Trenholme)
HyperModern Shatranj (Joe Joyce)
Circular Chess (Vitya Makov)
Symmetric Chess (Carlos Cetina)
Ajax Orthodox Chess (Jose Carillo)
This changes three of the games from the previous list. Note that Symmetric Chess is also described in my Experiments in Symmetry article, where it gets called Bigamous Chess. Regarding Symmetric Chess, I am concerned about its similarity to a commercial game. So if someone will suggest another game, and either sign up or already be signed up for this tournament, I will consider it. Regarding other suggestions, Nicholas Wolff's multi-move suggestions were rejected, but he could get another suggestion in. Mirari's suggestion of Gustav III's Chess is rejected for including Amazons. If M. Winther cares to sign up, a variant featuring one of his original pieces might be worth including in the tournament.
