I agree. I believe this narrows the definition in the right direction.
It's not the full definition, but it properly distinguishes the
differences among wargames, checkmate games, and chess variants. There is
a difference between variant and checkmate game, as some variants have
more than 1 king or require capture of [all] the king[s]. Checkmate games
and wargames would then be 2 descriptive types of CVs.
