So changing something to produce something that has not existed is not creating
something new?

When a baby is born, is it just a rehashing of an "old idea", or is it referred
to as a "newborn"?

'Superior' is a subjective interpretation. It all depends on your preference.
With over 30,000 sets out there right now, and fewer than 80,000 members of the
United States Chess Federation, the arguments about Gothic Chess being just some
weird offshoot is starting to lose merit.
