Let's not forget the context I was speaking in. I was speaking of what it would take for a game to replace Chess as the #1 Chess variant in the world. As long as that is someone's design goal, I am going to apply strict standards in evaluating its chances of meeting that goal. By no means does this mean that other Chess variants are not worth playing or that Chess is my personal favorite Chess variant. If I held those opinions, I would not be running this site.
