But I see videos on youtube of Magnus playing the rat.  If it gets popular I'll have to abandon it, perhaps for the Great Snake, Pterodactyl, or Hippopotamus.

The hippo is a fascinating device! I have a book on it I haven't yet
gotten around to read. I can't make up my mind if it is madness or
brilliance.
Usually, since I do not have a lot of time to devote to chess, I prefer
"easy" openings and systems such as the Colle. The colle, although
easily crushed by good players, serves me well when playing other
non-professional and non-amateur players like myself.

As a scientist, do you thing SMR will see hte light of day or remain in
the darkness of research projects for another decade or two?

 I do not have expertise in this field.  I cannot speak on this as a scientist but as a lay person.  Answer:  I don't know.

 Don't be so "scientist". ;)
