John, the intent of my comment may have been hard to get at first. I should have added, ''Great, or neat, or imaginative,'' after not finding other comments of substance, and singled out a piece or two. I was thinking of the transition to Aronson's ''32-one'' of Rolling Kings. Michael Howe's comment says there are a dozen ideas good enough for an entire CV in Existentialist. It is reminiscent of a Betza article shooting off in all directions. Hey, that was its era. Bobber, increasing its firepower the more moves get played, may be concept not unlike one used lately by John Smith in his series Faster and Faster Chess.
