Re: Did Robert Zubrin Design A 3 Player Chess Game? - Saw it in a magazine

I was reading an old copy of Strategy & Tactics.   The early version of the military wargaming magazine back when it was edited by James F. Dunigan.

It had a game review in the back for a 3-Player Chess Game by Robert Zubrin. 

I was wondering if the creator of this version of Chess was created by our own Dr. Robert Zubrin?

Any idea?  The issue was from 1974.

Another version, not Zubrin's.

Hmmm. . .

1974? I believe I subscribed to S&T back then.  :;):

I will bet a dollar its our same Dr. Zubrin.

Question: Is ANYONE named Zubrin except Robert?

Bill White? I am the mayor of Houston not to mention David White, Robert White, Charles White etc. . .

Is there anyone else named Zubrin? In the world? I suspect its one of those names that got "created" at Ellis Island.
