Since the advent of the Zillions program in 1998, dedicating material and financial resources to manufacturing specific or even universal chess variant sets has become as tragically backward (in effect) as it is noble (in effort). For instance, if one wants to help education in their community, donating a lot of typewriters will have extremely little positive effect in this age of networks, internet, computers, laptops, programs, etc. Quantum leaps in technology should reshape our paradigms irreversibly in favor of what is now clearly superior (by numerous criteria of measure).
