Well, i thought it might be too subjective. After all people enjoy chess without giving names and faces to all the pieces... To a lot of people things like balance, historical authenticity and such seem to be more important. And also there are those like Bramborough that have the talent and dedication to bring a lot on their own, so that part of the game they take care themselves, at least up to some measure of enjoyment.
