Informal NextChess Track One has 26 cvs here in mutable ranking from
Bifurcators(#1) and Great Shatranj(#2) to Seirawan(#26).   Winther's current
comment,
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=27429 and
Muller's,
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=27281, are
why there is long-intended split into three. Track I, under way for 3
years, is Muller's regular cvs, and Track II is Muller's wild ones, what
Winther characterizes as about 1/2 of the 6000 cvs of cvpage and of
Pritchard's 'ECV'. Track M, Modest, will be for likes of Winther's
Placement Chess, Hutnik's Eurasian Pawn Chess, Daniel's King to Bunker
Leap. It will be useful to re-animate FRC(#11) for Track Modest too, or
Eight-Stone for Track II.  Here starts new Track II ranking for cvs wild
and far from orthoChess of f.i.d.e. 64:  Rococo > Tetrahedral Chess. The
reasoning is that brilliant Tetrahedral is more purely a concept cv than
playable cv, and Rococo captures both attributes.  Both above and below
Leaping/Missing Bat and Tetrahedral are by different mathematicians.
