RN211 Localization. Localization of the World 'Economy' is opposite of Globalization, eventually to reverse the experiment's damages. Each turn player must search for the local area required to move, as follows. (a) no effect (b) Only pieces or Pawns within one's own most crowded rank may move, loosely called 'dispersal'. Initially, back rank and Pawn rank have 10/10 (=100% occupancy) on ten-rank sizes, so the first move is normal. In case of tie, any of the tied ranks' pieces/Pawns may move. (c) 'b', player must move from own most crowded rank or file, with 8/8 superceded by 10/10, or 4/8 by 5/10, 5/10 by 5/8. (d) 'b' Both players' pieces count in determination of most-crowded rank. (e) 'c' both players' units (f) 'b' excludes King (so Pawn must move first). (g) 'c' excludes King. (h) 'b' Any square subset of squares figures in calculation of local group required to move piece or Pawn. For example, 10/10 (rank) supercedes any 4/4 (of given 2x2), and 7/9 (of 3x3) supercedes 7/10 (rank). (i)'c' and 'h' (j) 'd' excludes Kings. (k) 'h' and any same piece-types adjacent, mixing either side's units, have highest priority of all. (l) 'h' excludes Kings. (m) 'h' excludes Kings and Falcons. (n) 'k' and 'm' (o) 'c', 'h' and 'k', with both rank and file as 'c' not 'b' (p) 'o' with condition 'k' actually in effect on board permitting double move of the involved piece-type without capturing or checking on second leg.

Beginning to see the approach of one distinct Chess Variate for each atom in Earth, the next 11 Mutators are already worked out in principle: Over the Edge, The Sea Is Rough, Hot Potato, Dispersal, Shepherd and Wolf, Cat & Mouse, Pedestal, British Bulldog, Sinkhole, Ali Baba & Forty Thieves, and Fibonacci Numbers. We always start with the name like that for two reasons. Many CVs stand on their name alone. Second, if each and every number had a name, mathematics would be lots easier for the masses not to mention programmers.
