Dr. Milan R. Vukcevich, USA scientist and Chess Grandmaster 1937-2003
proposed this idea to USCF-types as the Future of Chess. Someone should
find his speech, the topic being Rules Changes, I think from Hawaii
convention. Considered for Nobel Prize in science of incandescence and
having lamp-related patents, Vukcevich earns GM title for composition,
like the great Sam Loyd. Now the subject matter of Chess' evolution seems
more taboo in OrthoChess circles than only 6-10 years ago, when Vukcevich
suggested ongoing Mutators, though he did not call them that, since
'Mutators' originates here with Neto in 2000. Secondly, of course in 1920's Capablanca solicited from UK open discussion of the best 'Mutators', as Pritchard's 'ECV' recounts under Capablanca Chess, and probably CVPage has produced in ten years no better ones than those eighty years ago Capablanca found.
