Late to the CV spectacle? What other crying needs may there be to perform?
Of the first ten (3.January.2008) especially urgent are (8) a CV based on
sound and (10) a good Three-Player Chess. Now we add: (11) Alice Chess
must not remain forever sacrosanct, because 128 squares are too big. Who
darest burst that glass ceiling? Describe an effective Alice with
something original on 64 to 100 squares. (12) Are there other geometries of connectivity for spaces or cells than triangle, square, hexagon, pentagon?
(13) Devise CV where the board moves in segments whilst the pieces stay put.
(14) How would a CV work where move-turn order is negotiable? Where win
condition is negotiable?
(15) Start a CV in 3-d and flatten it to 2-d.
(16) Design a CV with two moving alternatives taken in one move and then
''collapse the wave function'' later systematically into one pathway
taken only. (17) Make pieces into letters and let there be a race to spell
a word. This technique would be isomorphic with just getting certain pieces
in a line. (18) Design one-path piece-type that only moves by bouncing off
other pieces after some of Winther's bifurcators as prototypes. (19)
Improve what GM Sam Reshevsky endorsed, Zonal Chess. (20) Meld ''Chess
and ______.'' (a) Chess and Tetraktys (b) Chess and Maze (c) Chess and
Maize (hint: eating is done at table for chess.) (d) Chess and paint by
numbers (e) Chess and 4-Colour map theorem (f) Chess winds
