To reduce White's opening advantage, Robert Bruce suggested in 1963 in Nost-algia the following simple rule change: on his first turn, White only makes a single move. This rule change found wide acceptance (AISE shifted from the classical version to the balanced version in 1990), and usually is preferred above the unbalanced variant (although Fabrice Liardet still organizes Classical Marseillais tournaments in Geneva). The balanced variant has been called Balanced Marseillais Chess, but the `balanced' is increasingly being omitted.
And is this possible to add also this PROGRESSIVE chess variants ?
David B. Pritchard (chess writer) interview of year 2005:
Question: What chess variants do you like most ? Answer: “Alice (especially!), Avalanche, Hostage, Marseillais, Progressive.”
Question: What advice do you have for an avid variant player looking for opponents and competition ?
Answer: “Join A.I.S.E. (Associazione Italiana Scacchi Eterodossi) or the B.C.V.S. (British Chess Variants Society) I am not qualified to make suggestions about meeting players on the Internet !”
Pritchard writed in your 2 books:
“Today A.I.S.E. (Associazione Italiana Scacchi Eterodossi) has done much to popularize Chess Variants by organizing two Olympiads and the same time establishing Italy as the leading Chess Variants nation“(The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, Games & Puzzles Publications, 1994);
“When there is a talk of chess variants one country predominates: Italy. It is perhaps curious that a country that has no great claims to chess mastery should be the acknowledged repositary of variant wisdom.” (Popular Chess Variants, Batsford, 2000).
And if you want know the rule of this chess variants (in italian language ) read here:
Thema: Re: Is this possible to add this 4 chess variants ?
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?

wetware: Hi, yes I'm !
*** Excuse me for my (bad) english language ***
I have participated in tournament Fischerandom version of ITALIAN progressive chess (not SCOTTISH) and I prefer ALWAYS variant with "Italian mate"
But this is not very important... I would like pleasure that in BK play "progressive"; for me is better "Italian"... for other player is better Scottish).
Ok for Fischerandom progressive chess versions added in BK... but ALSO "FIDE" progressive chess; for me is better "FIDE Italian"... for other player is better Fischerandom Scottish.
Ok for the opening moves from the standard starting position have been explored in great detail... but ALSO a normal "FIDE" chess are in the standard starting position have been explored in great detail and all people play !
Now I do not know that novelties are very hard to find now... BUT I WANT PLAY "PROGRESSIVE" !
Now, sorry... BUT I do not understand this:
======================================== (I've got one TN saved that I will not waste in any event less serious than a world championship.) ========================================
What means ?
I think the Fischerandom versions have more original analysis because a young variants... BUT "old" variants (FIDE, Italian progressive, ecc.) can have originals analysis.
