So you would recommend non-mirrored positions in Next Chess ranked #9
Schoolbook too? That is, Schoolbook as representing as well all the
Capablanca Random Chess arrays. For practical purpose and interest,
eventually there should be far fewer arrays than 960 or the thousands of Capablanca 
Random Chess. Consensus is on need to whittle any of these somehow logically to 10, 25, 50. Specific (flexible)
Schoolbook(#9) is chosen for Trenholme's studies and many games played.
Now Fischer Random and Schoolbook are back to back at #9 and #10 among the
Next Chess 23 CVs. Also, could Bifurcators(#1) in general work as well or be
acceptable on 8x10 boards? Thus far most are on the 68 squares, but a
handful already 80. Never yet stated: Next Chess could be about the board
more than the CVs. If we select 80, to near exclusion of all the other normal ''enlargements,'' we could see obsessive narrow 64 squares ovetaken a lot faster. To the extent any Next Chess topics are about boards, are there any experiments on less than 64? Not seriously. Clearly old standby 64 is already rock bottom minimum. The so-called expansions -- which should actually be considered normalizations and correction of longstanding error -- are 95% among the certain 68, 80, 81 and 100 spaces.  All four choices trend towards or reach regional Japanese 81 and Chinese 90, closing once and for all a ridiculous wide discrepancy.  Yet favourably anticipated is ''Kasparov Random Chess'' of 64 under development, promised as it is to be about either chosen 10 or 15 opening positions. In all, Fischer Random should be thought of as the CV of the past decade the Aughts 2000-2009.  Keeping an open mind, Kasparov's 10, Kasparov Random, would be another fine way to update still once again Alexandre's variable back-rank opening set-ups from the 1820s.   However, contrary to that, if non-mirrors are going to be more effective there instead in a starter ''schoolbook-64'' CV, they should also be transferred to its cousin for all the 400 years, Carrera-Capablanca-Schoolbook-80 ''Random'' Chess for perfect correspondence.
