The complex of games making the Baseball gestalt has now about 50 Mutators
designated 'a' to 'z' and 'aa' to 'uu'. The underpinning is 9x9
Chess with Cardinal(BN) and checkmate of King. Fifty mutators taken two
at a time make 1225 different Baseball Chesses to choose. Three activated
at a time number 19,600 games. Four Mutators, around 230,200 Baseball
Chesses. Five Mutators over 2.12 x 10^6 BCs, and once up to ten Mutators about
1.2 x 10^10, over 10 billion ways of implementing the pastime. Ten
Mutators are reasonable, and over ten begin to get difficult to keep track. Optimum
might be range of 5 to 10 employed for interesting challenge. What is one
to play? One to try might be BaseBall with Stolen Bases, Relief Pitchers, the 3
Pinch Hitters, Foul Ball and Strike Out. That could be enumerated
's'-'aa'-'ii'-'mm'-'tt', according to exact ones chosen from
catalogue of Mutators. Some Mutators get implemented best in blocks like
under Hits & Homeruns, 't' through 'w'. Their use may
frequently offer fully 15 or 20 Mutators activated at once, and therefore many
more than the 10-odd billion rules-sets available.
