Not notable. Something someone (Ralph Betza) made up; the only reference is written by him. A search finds references to an unrelated Chigorin Chess Club but nothing about this game. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:10, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, even though I created this article. Ralph Betza is definitely notable, but if (as I find now) even The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants doesn't include it like it does for so many of his variants, this is not really a notable game.

P.S. Although, since many variants by the same author are notable, and this one is similar in gameplay to Almost Chess, I would like a userspace copy if possible as it may plausibly get enough coverage in the future. Double sharp (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above; this game is not discussed in any sources that are not WP:SPS or WP:CIRCULAR, and even those are not plentiful. ComplexRational (talk) 21:02, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't appear to be notable; has only had wiki-gnome edits since its creation, so if Double sharp is !voting delete then it's basically a G7. GirthSummit _(blether) 18:02, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
