Alice is nothing but 3D with compulsory change of level, so many 3Ds
indexed in CVPage, out of 200, are really already Alice copycats after
1950s. Most Mutators are a worsening because of increasing complexity.
Offhand also, Antoine Fourriere's Chessma 84 (2002), many Gilman's like
Tardis Taijitu (2006), Betza's article starting with 'Alice...', and
especially 'inspired by Alice Chess' Jim Aiken's Tandem-84 (2002).
Infinite possibilites and infinite problems in 3D where nothing has been
proven to be correct. Philosopher's Chess and Pocket Polypiece are
isomorphic with Alice-types, according to definition, by thinking of
change of modality as switch to a different, second board, half or so the
pieces staying the same and half changing.
