I have checked out the favourites page...its a decent addition.

I would say I am quite critical of my own games, which is why I have contributed so few.

Minima is just a compaction of Maxima fused with Ultima. I would say its a very nice addition to the group, but I wouldn't claim it be anywhere near as groundbreaking as Abbotts original.

Abalonian Chess is just a fusion of Chess and Abalone. Its probably the weakest of my variants.

Pawns Vault Chess has a nice gimmick and is quite colourful though again I've made no claims about it being particularly special.

Relay Chess is I maintain is one of the fundamental variants in that it is a "flattening" of the concept of the popular Knights Relay. However this was just a chance discovery. I wouldn't even consider it "my" game.

For Chess 256, I completely overwrote two previous games as I considered them too low quality for the concept, even though they were probably still good enough to be contributed as separate games.
