Rich, as I understand it, you want the Next Chess to be a meta-game of
sorts that incorporates all kinds of different Chess variants into itself. Why? Why not just have a variety of different games, as we have now? Is
there anything to be gained by combining them into a single behemoth of a
Chess variant? This vision of the Next Chess strikes me as being like the Borg (from Star Trek: TNG and Star Trek: Voyager). The Borg tell me that my individuality will become part of the Borg and enhance their collective. What should I do? Should I join the Borg?
