tamerlano: I recognize your name from a couple of the World Internet Progressive Chess Championships.  (You and I were both participants in WIPCC 1998.)

I know you've also participated in similar events, for the Fischerrandom version of (Scottish) progressive chess.

If we were to have progressive chess versions added here at BK, I'd much rather see Fischerrandom versions--or at least have them offerred as alternatives.  To me, the opening moves from the standard starting position have been explored in great detail.  At the highest levels of play the range of acceptable opening moves is exceedingly narrow--at least in the Scottish version.  Playable theoretical novelties are very hard to find now.  (I've got one TN saved that I will not waste in any event less serious than a world championship.)

I think the Fischerrandom versions allow for more original analysis.  What do you think?
