I don't play every chess variant. I play Gothic Chess mostly. I played Janus Chess as an experiment, and I found it "too diagonal" for my tastes.

As I have stated before, prodigious calculation has little to do with excellence in board games. Pattern recognition, having been there before and understanding the road map of what lies ahead -- this is what makes a player better.

Trying a new variant for the first time will not produce any results that relate to performance level that I have already demonstrated.

So no, I decline to participate, for the fourth time.

This has nothing to do with "courage." I hate lima beans. So, I don't eat lima beans. I don't think I would be courageous if I tried them. I would probably just puke, like I did the last time I tried them.
