Excellent interview! I love playing normal chess, but it's always fun to
read and learn about new variations on the game.

One idea is to have polls for each type of game.  Then we can see which
people find the most fun! Just like music and art, each variant has a
qualitative value. Some are bad, some are good, and some are amazing.
Indeed, some are probably better than normal chess.

Why not team up with FICS and get some more variants into the chess
servers?

Cheers, Daniel
