"Bobby"? I presume you are talking about the venerable
Mr. Fischer. If I remember correctly, this gentleman revived
Capablanca's earlier proposals regarding chess variants that
presumably would render FIDE Chess opening theory obsolete.
In fact, for a long time, Mr. Fischer did not even insist on
white/black starting array symmetry, much like Capablanca...
I would be delighted to see his name associated with the
contrived castling rules of Chess960. In fact, these rules
_deserve_ to be called the Fischer Castling Rules, yes, of
none other but the one and only one Fischer Random Chess!
