Before commencing exact rankings only last week, there were to be three
new nominees. So now the three new ones counted towards NextChess finals are Bilateral Chess (Fourriere), Transactional
Chess (Aronson), and Fischer Random (Fischer). To those 24 are yet
to be one each officially from Gifford, Gilman, & John Smith. Anyone can still fill in
#s 28, 29, 30, no more than 30 to be slotted under scrutiny and with justification into NextChess standings.
