The original list comprising appr. 25 recognized chess variants seemed to be serious enough. It included games such as standard FIDE chess. I would not have held any objection to the list being revised or expanded somewhat, upon careful reconsideration, by the founding editors of the CV Pages. However, making arbitrarily additions a monthly activity (albeit erratically) without end and listing these games equally alongside established, well-known, popular chess variants is irresponsible. Fortunately, only 10 games have been added, thusfar. I just hope this activity is stopped permanently before the select list is cheapened.
