What are your opinions on Grigori Mintchev's maps? I've always been familiar with this name, and I don't rule out the possibility that I even played some of his maps as a child, so until recently, I didn't see any point in delving into his work. But after user kolotok mentioned that he restarted "Abelia" three times, I decided to take a look in the editor and was surprised. The supposed gameplay seems like a real challenge. Or recently, this author released two maps: "Adela's Revenge" and "Arlok." They are very similar in topography but different in gameplay (this is generally his thing). Take a look, for example, at the starting point in "Arlok." I haven't seen anything like it before.
As it turns out, Mintchev is a former chess player who has never been defeated. And also, the names of all his maps, with the exception of "Nexus Polaris," begin with the letter A.
