Winther at the thread below called 'Future Chess', in espousing again Gustavian board, is signing on to Hutnik's number one here, which is to improve f.i.d.e chess. That was Capablanca's intention and then Fischer's. The second-ranking reason historically for CVs is not exactly covered yet, namely, contribution to recreational math. The latter is authored by Loyd and other problemists, Dudeney, Dawson and other variantists who did want to bother much with full CVs of their own, Gardner, Conway, Smullyan. Some like Gardner specialize in being editor for others' chess ideas.
