Betza in this repeat of comment stresses standard Go which is 19x19.

Sizes are interesting, for example, Scrabble's 15x15, past-standard
Chess 8x8, TicTacToe 3x3. Betza speculates on different Go sizes such as 17x17. Of course we cannot equate constructions so different but make comparisons which aid in mental organization.
To highlight another Betza comment:

It has one of the classic sentences in all the history of CVPage that rings true: ''Chess Variant people often like to make new rules more than they like to play the games; and often also they are less skillful at playing the games than they are at making the rules.''
