Seirawan Chess too is fundamentally a Mutator generally applicable to other
CVs, and not a very good Mutator like Switching. Call it what one will,
back-ranking, or gating; gating may be Seirawan's preference. Why not just
insert the classics Centaur and Champion into the normal full-size 8x10 and
10x10 of Capablanca? Regarding this CV under review invented by a
Grandmaster of title, here's a relevant irreverent down-home homily:
''The counterfeit of anything is the proof of the genuine, as it is
impossible to counterfeit a nonentity.'' Seirawan Chess: counterfeit
chess. He ought to have known better than to tinker with perfection.
Out-classed.
