Nothingness: joshi tm: I have read other posts expressing interest in a corner variation. I would think it worthwhile to find out how many others would like such a variation and discuss the parameters with those interested. For me, the Corner variation at IYT is an equal favorite with Open Rush. I play those 2 variations almost exclusively. As to the parameters here, I would consider Joshi's 7 diagonal proposal as well as possibly an 8th diagonal. If only 7, we might consider removing a 1 and a mine or a 1 and 2 as Joshi suggests. If 8 diagonals, we might instead consider adding additional pieces and/or leaving squares within the 8x8 setup triangle unoccupied.
