What was happening 100 years ago?
http://www.openchessbooks.org/reti-mic/chapter6/reform_in_chess.html. Well
91 years ago, actually 100 years ago because Reti is (reti)-reiterating
Lasker from 100 years ago in Chapter 6 of year 1923 'Modern Ideas in Chess'.
Lasker friend of Einstein and fellow German mathematics professor.
Oh not one hundred years ago, today,

They think they have a stalemate or something, or metaphorically win by Stalemate, but they lost, lost as soundly as Kasparov this time and that 20 yrs. ago or thereabouts 17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue_versus_Garry_Kasparov.
to not reform but revolution of some kind.
In the over-refined decadence of Simpleminded Chess, they rerun Stalemate as Win almost as often as falsifying reinvention of compounds Rook-Knight and Bishop-Knight* -- suppressing its 400-year-old origin in west Mediterranean Carrera's, http://www.chessvariants.org/historic.dir/carrera.html.
