Current poll is neck and neck,
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/08/world/europe/uk-scotland-independence/index.html?hpt=hp_t2,
for Scotland and England to end 300-yr. arrangement.  What CVs have that
same catch-up quality?  That is, 'Yes' on Scotland seems to have jumped
almost 10 points in a month.*

First to mind, CV Rococo lets player opposing same-level down a major piece still turn
it around and win.  Looking at the NextChess list suspended in 2011, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=27016, other candidate CVs for reversing big deficit to eventual win are Bifurcators and Time Travel Chess and Eight-Stone.  A factor is not enough actual play to judge.
