Most certainly not! My nominaton is specifically for Spartan Chess, i.e the
Spartan army vs. FIDE. Most armies proposed for CDA are awful and offending
my taste. Apart from FIDE the Clobberers are really the only army that has
pieces of high-enough regularity to not qualify as 'ugly'. But it falls
short a long way by the imaginative design of the Spartan army, with its
dual Kings, the completely novel duple-check rule, and the alternative
Hoplite Pawn.

So the fact that 'I dabble in Betza' can NOT be taken as evidence
that a nomination of Spartan Chess can be taken as nomination of CDA in
general, anymore as the fact that I dabble in Shogi means that Spartan
Chess meand Shogi, or the fact that I have dabbed in Falcon Chess means
that Spartan Chess means Falcon Chess...
