Thank you, Fergus. I appreciate the very prompt separation of Great and Grand Shatranj. I do strive to present named games that are noticeably different, with relatively minor differences handled by presets on the same page under the same name. While I would like to argue that 'no one' has the best solution with option B, I see your previous response precludes that. So I will have to be satisfied with what I have. [BTW, I dropped 'Mini-Rules' from the titles.] I am interested in your statement that the total number of games in the tourney will be 1.2 times the number of players. One of the things I liked about the last tournament was the choice of games the players got; it seems there will be a bit less choice for this tournament. Is there a particular reason for this, or is it just that you wish to try something a little different? No complaint, just curiosity on my part. Finally, thank you for running this tournament. While many of us moan, groan and complain, we still seem to sign up.
