The problems with those alternative maps is that the tools for using
them are not perfect. For example, that page [
http://www.onesite.org/observer/observer.php3
] that maps the games has very beautiful maps for the Standard
variant [a contradiction of terms :-)], but ugly maps for Variants.
For example, using judge USIN, check game leakey [Standard]
and game mudrost [Modern].
