Jianying Ji - your planet analogy for chess variants, I think is interesting... but how is it that such and such CV is associated with Ceres (the largest asteroid - therefore not a planet and thus not a CV by the analogy) and as for Pluto, it was classified as a planet, but is now just the largest known member of the Kuiper belt and no longer a planet. Thus, what would have been a CV is no longer one....
The point here is that someone can say Chess is to Earth as Tzaar is to Ceres... but these associations are clearly arguable.
