Remember OrthoChess experts are always saying their game-scores potential is greater than this huge number, therefore, their Rules must never change. We are seeking 4x10^79, the number of hydrogen atoms in Universe. That is considerably fewer than so-called 'Googol', 10^100. It will take some 60 or 80 more Mutators to the 25 already, not so difficult. No one has much wanted to address Proliferation seriously, except to tout their own inclusions, so the experiment is illustrative. Actually, we could achieve the same 4x10^79 in myriad ways, and it could be interesting to do for 20-40 other worthwhile CVs. Appreciate the speck of dust factoid-Comment, because we were going to establish a sort of 'midpoint' which is not much greater, [maybe only encompassing the Solar System. (*Later, not very accurate, only less than Earth, remarkably, Earth having 8x10^49 atoms or so*)]: 'midpoint' in terms of number of zeroes. We actually prefer either 3, or 4, or 5 CVs altogether, no more than 6 or 10, even if it means 'consigning to oblivion' (David Pritchard's words in Intro 'Encyclopedia of Chess Variants') all of the rest.
