I vote for Individual vs. World approach, matching that extravaganza in
1999. Irina Krush and Etienne Bacrat were the most vocal recommenders, as
Gifford describes them, and kept the World's play high. The player should
pick the game, his best game, but weigh that the World, many outsiders,
will be judging Chess Variants by the choice. Later could come obvious
individual matches by challenges. You should rule out only 8x8 CVs in Gary
Gifford's or other's choice of the game to play.
For slight precedent on miniature scale, we had Open Kibitz games December
2003 in new Game Courier. I played Tony Quintanilla Rococo, and two others
played Berolina I think. There were ongoing comments about moves before
and after the fact.
