I think that there might be a mis-understanding about the intention of my
remarks. My advocation of certain forms of play are not demands for
compliance.
The whole concept of variants within the Chess game is that anything is
actually possible. Of course, the players would need to agree on the exact
form that they intend to use during a particular game.
Here is where mnemonic labels might aid in relating particular rules. For
example: If players want all the quantum to be re-cycled, regardless of
the determing condition, it might be called a Full Reset. A single
player's piece being the only ones re-cycled might be called a Partial
Reset. A Reset determined by deduction might be called, you guessed it,
Deductive. And one by an actual move of the determing piece might be
called Actual. And one which is determined by either player called a
Player. And one determined by the entire field of quantum called a
Field.
So, now players could know what rules were being applied if one desired a
Full Field Actual Reset, a Partial Player Deductive Reset, etc. ;-)
Is a Partial Field Reset, whether Actual or Deductive, possible?
