Who came up with the term "hypermodern" for a style?

Sort:

When is "hypermodern" style going to show its age and be called "modern", or "current", "recent", or "passé" style?  Hypermodern refers to some techniques, but if they're not evolving, then how long can anyone justify calling them "hypermodern" without calling future variants "hyperhypermodern" and "egregiously hyperhypermodern", and "extraordinarily super-egregiously hyper modern", and so on?

I am anthony michael harless jr. and I named the term hypermodern as an insult to chess in 2004 as I was accused of cheating at a scholastic tournament at FUMA (fork union military acadamy) I played a pefect game of petroffs defense which was a draw and a semi perfect game, I also named durkin's attack and tons of others in a single tournament, it was supposed to be modern as I argued I had modernized chess as a drawish game with defensive counter attack play as both colors with forceful positions, I also never touched a chess program before that date

it was a joke as extermely modern, instead of modern, as I was not allowed to name every opening harless game or harless attack or defense or variation, until I proved I didnt cheat but there was no proof that I did cheat, I argued I played too poorly to cheat though I did recieve a game rating of around 2900. I quit playing chess because multiple life events

I also want my name in wikipedia, I am willing to take a polygraph test to prove I did not cheat and to prove that I practiced for multiple openings and had to change my style during the tournament, I also named the variation, benko gambit fully accepted

benko gambit fully accepted if my memory is correct, I know i did 1.sicilian defense dragon variation,fischer's variation, rossolimo attack, velimirovic attack,checkover variation,2. caro kann panov botvinnik attack, 3.kings indian defense saemisch variation,3.dutch defense stonewall variation, I argue I did the most for opening theory as a regular human player

there were alot of openings and I was insulting in secret given the fact I couldve never cheated I had no access to a computer, nor did I study with computers in 2004 april 2nd or 3rd, so there you go the secret you wanted to know, im pissed that I have to prove I didnt cheat but yet was not disqualified

Im pissed im not in wikipedia, I showed up late at the tournament and I dont know if I am on record, or the games were recorded but I won a million dollar diamond chess set for the perfect game which was stolen from me, and I think a 50k diamond board for the semi perfect game, I think I played a game around 3000k rating at 2004 or 2900, I played well but saw room for improvement

I made an arguement that wasnt heard when naming durkins attack, 1.Na3, as white, that it was superior to other openings as Nc2, and Ne3 were excellant squares for the knight for a long term positional attack, I also played with content for a draw

chronotrigger89

I want to know how to prove I didnt cheat so I can rename my openings as my name, they told me I couldnt do that unless I proved I didnt cheat, which is pretty stupid, im sure modern day analysis on my games would prove a man didnt cheat, I was 14 at the time. I also recieved a title but i couldnt get that until i proved that i didnt cheat, if anyone can help me with that send me a message about it

I remember for almost every game I played which was I think 12, I played well enough to name or co-name an opening, I argued chess was drawish beause I played with content for draw and always used a one pawn advantage to an endgame win

I must state that I did not own a cellphone or a computer, but a friend owned a computer which I never asked to have access to, I did all studying and testing by myself for a long time
