Thanks Jose for the correct date of public disclosure of invention 1996, rather than 1992 as first private play -- for Falcon Chess. I think specific board sizes are about the best categorization possible at this point. Not the only one of course, but one place to start. For example, all the 11x10's, all the 16x16's, all the 7x8's -- only one so far of the latter; get to work, prolificists. Because ridiculously anymore (in one convenient anomaly), old Editors Quintanilla, Aronson, Duniho would have little more than a clue about ongoing content of the site. You know, such recent content as Calvinball, or ''piece values by entire configurations rather than single piece,'' or one-piece-type Spartan Skaki. Not the sort of material to win over wide converts. Of course any of those specific Chess experts, used as examples, could catch up on the material, given enough time, even lacking any willful organization or evaluation. My article ''Multi-path Chess Pieces'' in 2004 likewise tries to organize that important field, as Carillo's pictorial here organizes somewhat evolution of 8x10's and their further offshooting.
