You claim, outrageously to have conceived an OS for chess, and
yet your writings reveal an elementary misconception about
the relevant game theory. Suppose an OS existed in chess for white.
Then the OS would provide an opening move (e4 say). By
definition, all responses by black are equally bad: the OS
provides a response for white *no matter what black does*. If
you want to visualise an OS, it is as a subtree of the complete
game tree which contains all successors at odd levels, and a 
unique successor at even levels. Again and again it is clear
from your "arguments" that you perceive an OS as a single branch
of the game tree. This is a simple, fundamental error on
your part, and gives the lie (not that it's needed) to your
preposterous claims.

If it is your intention to gull people into believing that
there is the remotest merit or truth in your writings, then I 
suggest that you try a lot harder.
