Charles:
Sorry, I should have clarified when I said it intimidates me. I have a really hard time concentrating on things sometimes and your knowledge of the English language is much more vast than mine. Big words and many words intimidate me no matter what the subject is. Also, I am not very educated in the regards of chess variants. I can read, understand, and execute rules, and maybe throw in a little bit of strategy, but mechanics like pawn structures, piece values, notations, piece names, etc. I just enjoy playing games for what they are, so I think that may also play a part. I did some more looking at a you articles, I believe they are well written and you seem to have an understanding what you are talking about. My uneducated self cannot think of any suggestions for you. My apologies.
Best,
Nick
