I understood you just fine, nothing went over my head.

Are you trying to say you were NOT speaking in opposition to the suggested combination chess variants? It certainly appeared that way.

As for your claims, I see nothing impractical or complicated about the combination variants, what exactly is the problem?

As for my reference to pente, I thought it was fitting since you so vehemently argued in favor of what I (and many others) consider to be an illegitimate variant and then you seemed opposed to apparently legitimate chess variants.

If you were NOT speaking in opposition to the idea of creating those chess variants, then I misunderstood you, but If that is the case it was because your statement was vague, not because anything went over my head.
