Switch-side Chain Chess can be generalized too.    No reason the Mutator
cannot be widely applicable to over 90% of the 3000 CVs, and then there are
over easily 4000 or 5000 new games,  if some non-overlapping Pritchard
'ECV' cvs are included.

Switch Side Chain Rococo, SSC Schoolbook Chess, Switch Side Chain Altair
and so on.  If original SSCC with careful conservative f.i.d.e. six on 64
has not much clarity, imagine the opaqueness of Switch Side Chain Pocket
Polypiece.  In Thompson's terms, all the SSC Chesses probably stand very
high in depth and drama, average in decisiveness, and low  in clarity, the
chief four.  That  spectrum would explain expected computer typically
advantaged over biological again.

The Rose in its move, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSrosechess, has shape of ideational entire Chain roughly speaking, so games with Rose by Betza or others could be candidates for this Mutator.
