There will be no convenient links to write-ups. They stand on their own naked text here. Was Mastodon Chess always 10x10, or once 8x10? We allow visualization either way in cases like this; the switch from and to 8x10 and 10x10 is the same CV essentially -- yes yes crucially different play when crunches come. Winther finds Paolovits' first use differently of Mastodon as Pasha around 1890. Greenwood's Renaissance has it. It's natural because ''complements jumping move of Knight,'' says Winther. If you think about it, all the surrounding 24 squares in 5x5 are hit once by either Knight or Mastodon for very deep symmetry. We will hierarchize fully as we go. Somebody has to do it and not be namby-pamby. Mastodon > Modern. Mastodon is NextChess for how now long-lived. At the end all 21 will be listed in order of preference. Then up to 9 more to 30 altogether, to include Fischer Random Chess getting a bye and one each from Gifford, Gilman, Fourriere, and Aronson will be slotted in exactly. No novelty CVs like Rococo. http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=24303 Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID NextChess6 does not match any item.
