The Early Evolution of Fischerandom

Last week's post, 'Presenting the Fischeramdon' (sic; see the last link in the list below), was the first post in nearly two-and-a-half years to shed new light on the early evolution of chess960. I started to wonder: How many other posts had I done on the early years of chess960? To answer that question, I first turned to a post from 2013 that listed earlier posts focusing on Fischer's activities. For easy reference, that 2013 post is pictured below.

Using the same format, here are posts about Fischer's activities during the 1990s:-

• 2009-10-31: Fischer Announces Fischerandom (1996)
• 2009-11-01: Fischer's Rules of Fischerandom (1993, 1996)
• 2009-11-07: Fischerandom's Inauspicious Start (1996)
• 2009-11-08: The First Recorded Fischerandom Game? (1996)
• 2009-11-21: Who Is the 'Father of Chess960'? (1996)
• 2010-03-06: Pictures of a Fischer Random Precursor (1993)
• 2010-09-25: The Rampant Expansion of Theory (1992)
• 2011-01-02: Brady on Fischer Random (1992, 1993, 1995)
• 2012-02-18: An Aborted Announcement (1995)
• 2013-08-10: Foraging the 'News Groups' (1996)
• 2013-08-17: 'Reform Chess' (1993)
• 2015-02-21: Chessmaniac, Comments on Chess960 (1993)
• 2018-04-21: Early Chess960 in Hungary (1993)
• 2018-07-28: GM Hort and Chess960 (1993)
• 2021-02-21: Presenting the Fischeramdon (1996)

From this we see that Fischer's early activities were bunched into two time periods. The first period took place in 1992-1993, when Fischer developed the rules of his emerging invention. The second period took place in 1995-1996, when Fischer revealed his invention to the world.

What happened in 1994 and after 1996? Looking at Fischer's other activities in those periods might help answer those questions.
