Tonight I went through Game Courier's list of all games, looking at those played at least 10 times, to date, to compile a preliminary list of 10x10 CVs. That is, for people to consider at leisure, to whittle them down to 1 or more possible 'Next Chess' candidates (if they could choose/predict), with the assumption that 10x10 is a very good board size (maybe the best). Some of these games I know have been played elsewhere, perhaps many times, and all seem interesting in one way or another:
Eurasian Chess (x103);
Grand Chess (x77);
Shako (x63);
Opulent Chess (x61);
Sac Chess (x61);
Caissa Britannia (x55);
EuChess (x41);
Colossus (x35);
Expanded Chess (x27);
Grand Cavalier Chess (x27);
Unicorn Great Chess (x26);
Storm the Ivory Tower (x25);
Bear Chess (x24);
Grand Shatranj (x23 = D & R versions in total);
Wildebeest Chess Decimal (x18);
TenCubed Chess (x17);
Butterfly Chess (x15);
Centennial Chess (x14);
Great Chess (x14);
Jetan (x11);
Atlantean Barroom Shatranj (x11);
Ajax Chess (x10);
Mimic Chess (x10).
Edit: My own personal Next Chess candidates I can tentatively narrow to #2,3,4,6,8,9 and 13 in the list above.
